As many of my friends and family have started their own blogs, I have been inspired to begin my own. I look forward to composing a blog myself. I don't expect to be deep or profound, just to share my own thoughts.
I have much to look forward to as the summer begins to close. I am still serving as the Child Care Coordinator at Trinity Lutheran Church and School in Litchfield Park, AZ. This year I am also getting the opportunity to get back into the teaching the subject I love! Math! I will be teaching the Advanced Algebra class for the middle school, as well as Applied Pre-Algebra.
This will be my fourth year in the Phoenix, Arizona area. I have always said that I would trade the AZ sun for Midwest snow any day! Our weather is beautiful, except for the extreme heat during the months of July-September, which are still tolerable. Whenever Korey and I have friends and family visit, they always comment on the mountains and palm trees (as well as saguaros) that surround us. To be honest, when we first moved here, I felt the same way. I think I take them for granted anymore. Every now and then I catch myself and stop to appreciate the mountains and the creation God has given us in AZ.
So here's my first question to those who will follow my blogging: What is something you often take for granted? How do you remind yourself to stop and "appreciate the mountains"?
TRODD
Love your blog so far! Can't wait to see what is all up in your life.
ReplyDeleteYour post makes me think. I've been struggling with learning to be content. I think the thing I take for granted is family. In general, I guess. I am so blessed, in so many ways. Thanks for the reminder!
Good question! I think that like Rachel, I too am struggling with being content. I often feel the pull to want more and more and more. But I am soo blessed to have a caring and loving husband, family, and friends!
