It is back to school time! For many that means new pencils, pretty bulletin boards, and a room full of new students. Sigh. Some days I really miss those things. I went in to my old school yesterday and volunteered for a few hours. It felt so good to have adult conversation and to feel "professional" again. Don't get me wrong....I love staying at home with my precious baby, but I know God has called me to be a teacher, and I miss it. However, I know I am where God wants me right now. I can never get this time back with my daughter. I love being the first person she sees when she wakes up in the morning. I love watching her get oatmeal all in her hair at breakfast and then trying to comb it all out! I love reading books to her and hearing her try to read with me. All of these things are precious, and I know I would miss a great blessing if I was not at home with her. God keeps bringing to my mind the scripture Jeremiah 29:11. I know God has plans for me and a great future. For now those plans include being a stay-at-home mommy, but I know one day I will be back in the classroom with wonderful new pencils and bright shiny bulletin boards. I just have to trust Him, and know that He knows best. For now, I will just keep having "class" with Klara and soon-to-arrive Zachary. They will be the most important "students" that I will ever have!

Very well written and precious. Yes, true- true that this is such a crucial time. For such a time is this................
Can't wait to meet Zachary- praying for him and YOU!
Kattie, your post really encouraged me today. I am very sad and having a hard time about not going back to school. How blessed are we though that we get to be at home?! I am so thankful for the time that I am getting with my little one. I am realizing just how quickly it passes! Thank you for sharing!
