From Fear to Peace

I can still remember the thoughts that were ramping in my mind before coming back to school this semester. Thoughts about student teaching "What if I don't get a good teacher? What if I don't do so well? What if my lessons are not that good?" were constantly on my mind yet I was unconsciously letting fear creep up in my heart. There were other things that I worried about as well such as facing change: returning to school to live in a single room without my roommate who has been with me since freshman year, no longer leading the dance team on campus, and helping my friend lead a small group. What good was done by me worrying? Absolutely nothing. My prayers, and leaving all my worries to God while placing my faith in Him, resulted in peace. Yes, peace. Was it easy? Nope! But when that day finally came to meet my cooperating teacher, a big load came off my shoulders! Mrs. Teichmann turned out to be a very nice, helpful, optimistic, "chill" person :). As the days went by, I began to settle in, got comfortable in the class, with my students and teacher. Little by little my worries began to fade. From fear to peace, God still held me by my hand and walked with me "One step at a time". And now I can say that despite of the exhaustion and tedious work, I really enjoy working with my Kindergartners! Thank you God!
