As I am about to start back to work on Monday, I am thinking about the new year and what has happened in the past year. I have been at McLendon for a year on January 11th. This school year 2013-2014 has been a rough school year so far. I have had a big struggle with one of my co-teachers and have had a spirit of unforgiveness toward him. I have been underminded and not listened to concerning students on my caseload by him so many times, it has been hard. That is one thing I want to work on this year. Being more forgiving when I am done wrong multiple times. I noticed toward the end of the semester that when I was nice and pleasant addressing him, he struggled more. I know that I should be more forgiving, but I want people to treat my like a co-worker and to have respect toward me. But that is not my problem, that is the other person's problem. I am having to learn that. I know my lessons will not be done until I am surrendering everything.
Something new for this year, is that I am dating someone new. I am hoping that this person and I will work out for what it is meant to be. I am not rushing it or forcing it. He seems like a good guy. Mature and has his own place and has a job. The only downside is that he might be going overseas toward the end of 2014 since his unit is up for deployment. We will see what happens though. This is him and I from New Year's Eve.
Lastly, with school being out for 2 weeks, I have been off on my sleeping pattern. So come Sunday, I will be in bed before 10:00 pm so I can get enough sleep and start back to my sleeping routine. The weather is going to be super cold down here in Atlanta the next couple of days....just in time for me to start back to work and not want to get out of bed!
So here we go with 2014. 2014 will have many blessings and many struggles...what year doesn't? I am hoping to learn a lot and to not have too many struggles!
