Well, we started a new school year today in our household. As I thought about what the kids would learn this year, the new friends they might make and the new adventure my middle daughter is embarking on, it occurred to me; this is a new school year for me as well. What am I about to learn this year?? What does God, the amazing teacher, have in store for me?? I am not sure, but I know it will be good.
I am not a big "New Years Resolution" person, I think making resolutions is kind of a waste of time (in my opinion), because I can resolve all I want and then come February or March, I have forgotten everything I promised myself I would do and nothing has really changed. But, when I realized I am the student, and I have an opportunity to learn and grow this year, I got pretty excited. No, I will not need a new pack of #2 pencils, notebook paper or a brand new pink eraser, but I will need a teachable spirit, a willing heart and a Christ centered perspective.
Lord, what will you teach me this year? That is what I need to keep in front of me each day, as I begin my new school year.
