We, the fifth grade of Jacksonville Christian Academy, finally had our first field trip. It was awesome. Despite the lo-o-o-o-ong drive and the rain all day long, we enjoyed ourselves more than we had expected to. Two of my favorite moments as a teacher were: These first two pictures where we accidently wound up on - stage in a very empty theater. So, of course, we had to take full advantage of it. We were horsing around, singing, and having a good time; until we noticed the elderly couple that came in and we watching us as though we were the show! Those..kids...I'm not sure where they get it :)
This was awesome! There was this little shop with all sorts of instruments. Some you could look at and some you could actually play. The piano was locked up and the kids wanted me to play a song on it . I told the man working at the time, that if he would unlock it, we would sing him a song. He did and the kids sang, "I Must Be Special, For He Paid a Special Price for Me"..People heard them and began filtering in. When they were done, they received a round of applause. Not knowing they had gathered a crowd, they were amazed. I was just plain proud. This actually opened up the door for us to give a testimony of where we're from and a little of what we believe. It was awesome!
From sleepy to wildly happy, (as my children seem to go)... the Lord blessed with travelling mercies and great fun and fellowship. I'm thankful for all He has allowed us to do. This has been a trying year for us. There has been many tragedies, but the Lord has used these chillens to build my faith, and I hope I have done the same for them...
Thanks for tuning in...See ya next time!
