I'm very glad God has allowed me to work with high schoolers. They are so much fun and keep me entertained. Tonight our junior huddle girls had dinner at our house (the boys went to another house to eat), and we played a competitive game of 4 on a couch--blondes vs. brunettes. These are such sweet girls. I can't believe they're already juniors! I'm glad we get the opportunity to be with them all 4 years in high school.Last weekend I enjoyed being a part of the West Texas Girls Conference. My friends Kayci, Sarah, and Kara (among others) did an amazing job of putting it on again this year. I love the sound of a roomful of girls singing. It was encouraging to see so many girls gathered to worship and share.
It's an odd and interesting thing teaching at my own high school. It's another nice thing about Abilene--the interconnectedness of everything and everyone. Many of my former teachers (I dare not say "old" because that could be me someday soon) are still working there, as are some of my classmates. Of course, there are days when I'm exhausted and just ready for the next holiday, but I also appreciate being in a job that gives me interaction with high school kids every day. They are surprising, sarcastic, witty, maturing, energetic, eager, and incredibly blunt...God bless them!
