"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you hope in a future." Jerimiah 29:11
This is one of my favorite Bible verses. It gives me the calm I need when days are crazy. This verse has been making a daily appearance in my mind lately. I think it's because we're going through a time of change in our house. Not bad change, but change is change. And, unfortunatly, with change comes stress.
I love my job. I love my students and the teachers that I teach with. However, I can't think of a school year where I have been more ready for summer than this one. I can not wait to spend more time with all of my kids. I can not wait to decorate our new house (don't worry, I'll blog all about the new house when the time is right). I can't wait to sleep in, drink coffee, watch Price is Right, and take naps in the middle of the day. Ahhh...summer.
So with all that said, I am very restless right now. I am ready for another wave of peace to spread over me. Until then, I have Jerimiah 29:11 to comfort me and to remind me that although I don't know the plans HE has for me, HE does.

About Me
- frombarbietobatman
- From Barbie to Batman is an appropriate title for this blog for numerous reasons. The obvious being that on any given day you will find at least one of our kids running around pretending to be a superhero, while another one is playing dress-up or playing Barbies. This does not fall into the gender stereo typical categories one would think, either. The boys enjoy dressing up just as much as the girls (high heels included) and the girls know more facts about Star Wars and superheroes than most adult men. That being said, we are a fun family full of adventures. It is time I share our stories so all may enjoy our crazy, blessed life.
I have blogged this exact same verse not once but twice. We have gone through quite a bit in the last few years and it has helped me tremendously as well. I'm not a teacher but I definitely hear you about summer! Life is so much more relaxed. . .
