give me eyes to see

today first grade lead chapel and we sang a song about the fruits of the spirit. my kids are so cute. how can you not smile when you see this picture. they are wonderful. one sweet child came into the room today and it was obvious she was upset so i kissed her forehead. she got the biggest smile on her face and said, "thanks miss neill, that was all i needed". my heart melted. then she said she loved me gave me a hug and walked away. its moments like these that make teaching the best job ever. i have such freedom here to love these children. its such a blessing. they teach me so much everyday about the love of christ. wow, i have an amazing job.

today was just an amazing day! i skyped with dad last night, got the sweetest email from my sister this morning, and got my first package from mama after lunch. what a day! i tell you, the lord knows just what i need right when i need it! my family is amazing, supportive and such a blessing. they really believe in me. this quote is on my bathroom door so i can see it all the time. i love it, its so true. when we believe and put out hope in christ, allow the him to work in our lives and our hearts, anything is possible. i surrendered to him and i believe "he can" through me. i trust him, follow him and therefore "i do". everything is all about him, it has to be, there is no other way. when you start believing and thinking this way, you see him all around you. its as if you have new eyes.

okay, friends thanks for reading. love to you all and i hope you are delighting in jesus today! he loves you and if you allow him, he can give you new eyes too!
