He'll carry us when we can't carry on.
Raised in His power, the weak become strong.
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect.
His strength is perfect. Just when I think I have nothing left to give and can go no further, God reaches down and reminds me that it is HIS strength in me that makes all the difference! Today was one of those days. Between coming up short on one test, taking another, and some complicated lessons in one of my classes, I felt exhausted. My classmates and I were all feeling it. This chorus instantly came back to my memory. God has proven over and over again throughout my college years how perfect His strength is. He is so good and so faithful! He has carried me through so much. As I come to the meat of the semester here in the next few weeks, my prayer is that He will always remind me that His strength is perfect and He WILL help me carry on, even when I feel like I can go no further.
Since it has been a while since my last update, I will also bring you up to speed on some things. Life as I know it has been completely crazy this semester! I am in what is known as "pre-sequence" in the College of Education program. It is an intense semester with four classes (all literacy/reading methods courses) plus field experience. I am in a 2nd grade classroom at a midtown elementary school, and I absolutely love it! My students are so sweet and (generally) well behaved, and my mentor teacher is so wonderful! In addition to that, I am also taking a course about assessments and how to create good ones. Between classes, church, and friends, I stay busy constantly. As Billy Currington sings, "God is great, [life] is good, and people are crazy!"
