What's Up April

        Happy Sunday, Y'all

Today, I'm joining Shay and Sheaffer for their What's Up Wednesday link-up. However, I'm just a few days late. Chalk it up to a busy few weeks. But thankfully, this weekend has been a slow one for me. So I'm finally getting around to posting...


Anywho... On with the post. Each month we answer the same list of questions based on how things are currently going in our lives.

So let's get started...

What am I eating?

I made a BLT the other night. That’s my ultimate comfort food and it totally reminds me of home anytime I have one. Plus, it’s super tasty. Yum!



What am I reminiscing about?

I've been thinking a lot about my dad lately. The anniversary of his death was 2 weeks ago. And his birthday would've been the day after that. And his and my mom's anniversary was last week. As I said in my post 2 weeks ago, this year has been a lot harder for some reason. Honestly, I think it's because this school year has been so much more difficult and those are usually the times when I would have most likely gone to him more for prayer and advice. And I just so miss having the ability to actually do that... 


 What am I loving?

I love working with the juniors as part of my class co-sponsoring duties. This class has always held my heart. I taught one of them in 1st grade and then more in 4th and 5th grade. Then once I shifted to my new position, when this class was in 6th grade, I began helping/teaching others of them along the way. And since they've started high school, I've been able to get to know so many more of them while working with them on various events, especially this year, when it's their busiest fundraising year. So yeah... I've just been thinking lately about what a gift this groups of kids truly has been.

What have I been up to?

Teaching, and all the things that go into doing this job God has called me to do. I have little time for anything else these days. But thankfully, I love what I do. 



What am I dreading?

Nothing at the moment...

What am I working on?

Accepting the truth mentioned in the image below.



 What am I excited about?

I actually had a completely free weekend this weekend. And I honestly cannot remember the last time that happened. Yay for “unplugging” and catching up on some definite much needed rest! I've literally spent the last two days doing just that. And while as a result, I might have to spend most of today lesson planning and prepping for the week ahead, I must admit that it was worth it to catch up on that rest that my body and mind desperately needed.



What am I reading?

I’ve been reading in Ephesians lately during my personal Bible study time…



What am I listening to?

The silence at the end of the day has been kind of nice. I must say ;)

What am I wearing?

A few days ago, one of my students asked me why I was wearing old lady sunglasses. So my question was/is... When did tie-dye become something only old people wore? These kids make me laugh. Ha! :)


 What am I doing this weekend?

Y'all... I actually had (have) a weekend off. And it's a long weekend, at that, since there's no school on Monday (today)! I haven't had a full weekend off in I don't know how long. I had originally thought I might try to hang out with a friend or something like that. But honestly... I'm so tired from work. I really thought that I just wanted to stay home all weekend and catch up on sleep, work on some Bible journaling, and do as little else as possible. And it's been glorious.

What am I looking forward to next month?

We'll be wrapping up the end of the school year. So there's a lot going on with that. Honestly, I can't say there's anything in particular that I'm looking forward to. But I suppose I could say, we're just a bit closer to summer... So maybe that is what I'm looking forward to. After all, that is a pretty nice thought :)

Favorite recent Amazon find?

I ordered a few new e-books off Amazon recently, thanks to the remnants of a gift card and Amazon's "book deals" section. I'm looking forward to starting to tackle those soon.

What's new this month?

Nothing much...

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

What about you?

What are YOU up to this month?
