Walking the Path

It felt good to walk my path again today.  

This was just what I needed... the cold fresh air, the brilliant sun, the glistening snow...

the familiar sights transformed.

 It's been a bad week... lots of stress, worry, self doubt, fear...

I even began to wonder if what I do and give, means anything.

And then there were my music students, so excited to learn on the SMART Board, not afraid to be silly as we sang a Groundhog song, laughing with me as I changed the words to one of our winter songs...

(that snow makes me "cranky", and winter is only nice in FLORIDA!)

the precious first graders who ask to work on the "super fast" song for their program 

(their shining eyes and progress giving me goosebumps!)

Yesterday an EMDT grad I had mentored in the past contacted me, 

wanting to talk with me, to ask for prayer...

and that touched me deeply.

The connections I make, the things I do and give...

they do have meaning...

I'll rest in that

and with God beside me, 

continue walking the path.
