Livin' the life

I feel like I am living the dream. Living the way I was born to live. Doing what I was created to do. I've been teaching ESL. Teaching Grade 1's and 2's. Teaching women. And teaching students going into university. I've come to realize so many people never come to that place of being completely satisfied in life, and I am grateful.

I was watching a movie tonight about Afghanistan. The women in the movie were given so few educational opportunities, forced to wear burkas which covered their entire bodies and faces from head to toe, forced to even wash clothing under this heavy load, and nowhere to escape their grief or pain. I felt their sadness and cried inside. It's just so foreign to me and what I've experienced so far in my life. Daddy God, you are the only who could prepare me to be a blessing there. More grace and excessive love.
