Pile of paperclips
This pile of paperclips represents 8 years of my life.
8 years of teaching, creating, investing, thinking, planning, and loving.
I spent the past three days going through old files, reorganizing and throwing things away. As I pulled paper clips off of different sets of copies, all things I had created for my classes, I realized that the past 8 years has been time well spent.
More than ever I love teaching and love my students. They are a delight to my soul. Their personalities fill my heart. Their quirky comments make me laugh ("Miss Jackson, it's as hot as a thermos in here!"). Their faces make me smile.
It is true what Mumford and Son's says: Where you invest your love, you invest your life.
Lord, let me invest my life well!
