June 2009 Update

I'm sitting at my desk on a Sunday night catching up on last week's New York Times crossword puzzles.

Strange, I thought to myself. I actually have free time. So I better post this entry before I lose the chance right before visiting Seattle this July.

Running through this week's "to-do items" in my head, this is what I came up with:

Club Activities:
  • Prep Monday's study on the last half of Mark, chapter 4.
  • Come up with a bunch of games for this Wednesday's kid's corner. It's our last Wednesday before the summer break.
  • Prep the Monday's group last get-together - a day of sports this Saturday followed by dinner.

Work:
  • Finish editing a promotional video for the kindergarten. Create a slideshow for the graduation ceremony. The ceremony's this Friday.
  • Three more rehearsals with the graduating class on their English language play. Gotta make sure their props and masks are ready.
  • Semester reports for 52 students.
  • Pack up the classroom into boxes for the summer.
  • Teacher evaluations and leading one more department meeting.
  • Recruiting a new kindergarten teacher.
  • Finalizing the fall's ESL teaching assignments and selecting the curriculum.

Personal:
  • Pack for my home visit in July. Writing up a list of things I want to get in Seattle.
  • Downloading directions so I know how to get to my friend's wedding in San Jose.

So I'm enjoying my crosswords during this calm before the storm. A storm that will hit hard this week. My past month has been more or less this busy, and while staring at this list, I realized how faithful God has been in my life this past year. I didn't just teach all year long. God made this past year truly abundant with opportunities to share the word and develop relationships. Almost by surprise, He recently placed me in a position at school that will create an impact to more students.

In fact, it's God who has been doing the teaching. (to be continued)
