August 22 was my official first day back to school for teachers, although I have been in since Monday. There is always so much to be done and not enough time to do it in. We got a new computer system for grades and attendance and I was asked to be one of the trainers. So armed with a PowerPoint, and paitence, I set out to help teachers get into the 21st century. Some of them barely use email, let alone the computer. Many still do grades by hand, something I cannot even imagine.
I had two opportunties Wednesday. Train them with kindness and grace for their attitude (which is based in fear of change) or treat them as they have treated me. I chose the first option and they seemed very grateful for my help.
I also finally got my computer log in problems fixed, which was awesome. I had been in five times over the summer to install new software in my lab and all I got was the run around. My VP finally put me in touch with the head of computer services and he fixed everything up for me. Yeah!
I am praying for a good year, anticipating that since this is where God wants me, if I walk in that knowledge, He will provide what I need to not only get through the year, but to make it an awesome year. For the first time in two years I am excited about starting school.

Kimberly,
I am so glad that you are excited about school! I will be praying that God will work many miracles in your classroom.
You can pray for me to be excited for my job and for God to use me where I am as well.
