What's Up September

Happy Wednesday Y'all

Today I'm joining  MelShay, and Sheaffer for their What's Up Wednesday link-up. 

 

Every month we answer the same few questions based on how things are currently going in our lives. 

The questions are...

 

What am I eating?

I made steak fajita nachos and huge batch of Spanish rice the other day. It was my week to provide the meal for our Bible Study. And I decided to make a double batch, so I'd have leftovers. So I've been eating off of that. Mine is not authentic (obviously). But it was so good. And I must say. It was quite tasty :)

What am I reminiscing about?

Starting this dream class of mine - And all the memories this classroom of mine has produced over the past year and a half. God has been so good.

What am I loving?

I'm loving our new theme for Kids Club. It's all about COLORS. The kids seem to be loving it each week. And if they're happy, I'm happy. We cancelled this week, due to our meeting space being in use. That worked out though... It gives us extra time to plan lots of fun things for next week's Kids Club :)

What have I been up to?
We had our annual Staff Retreat this past weekend. I always love this weekend each year. It's fun to get together with my co-workers from school, enjoy fellowship together, good food, air conditioned rooms, and nice times of worship :)

What am I dreading praying for? 

I typically shy away from including something I'm dreading. Honestly, there's usually nothing that I'm dreading anyway. So instead, I've decided to change "dreading" to "praying," and instead, list what I'm praying for...

So what am I praying for at the moment?

I'm praying for peace and clarity and guidance.

What am I working on?


I'm working on studying God's Word more intently, as part of The Loved Bible Project. I'm really enjoying this way of studying the Bible, praying, and hearing all the Lord has for me to learn from this time. I'm also praying over every line I highlight, every note I include, praying for the person who will receive this Bible when I'm finished and God lays them on my heart.

What am I excited about? 

Guess who was gifted plane tickets for a trip to the US over Christmas Break! Yep, that's right! I'll be back in the US from December 19 to January 5. I can't wait to see these two girlies (and the rest of my family, too, of course)!

What am I watching? 

I just downloaded the iTunes season pass for the final season of Big Bang Theory. It's such a funny show. Definitely one of my favorites :)

What am I reading?
 
My latest copy of Influence Magazine came in the mail yesterday. So last night, while waiting for my assignment (as a student) to upload, I started reading this article on the more and more common state of biblical illiteracy of our country. It was an interesting read. I think, too often, people depend solely on the preacher to give them the Bible. I think most people aren't studying the Bible and the power/truth it contains, as deeply as they should. And I'm speaking to myself here, as well. How often have I just read to read, and not truly studied the power of what I was reading? So yeah... This article was a good one.
 
 
What am I listening to?

I have a random eclectic mix of music playing at the moment.

What am I wearing? 

Nothing exciting :)

What am I doing this weekend?
 I'll probably head out at some point Friday and Saturday night and watch some of our students and staff play Handball. I also have dinner plans Friday. And I have a cute 5 year old's birthday party on Saturday. And then I'll spend the rest of the day Saturday, prepping for the week ahead (for my classroom and for the class I'm taking, as well). And then on Sunday, I'll go to church and then spend the rest of the day, meal prepping, followed by sitting on my couch, relaxing.

What am I looking forward to next month?
More fun things planned with my class,
Parent Teacher Conferences (always nice to check in...)
Harvest Fest at school
Finishing my class (it's only 8 weeks long)
Starting my next class (I'll have a week off in between)

What else is new?

Not much...

And that's what I'm up to this month.

What about you?

What are YOU up to this month?
