The days seem to be flying by. I can't believe it has been nearly a year since I last posted anything on my blog. School starts for me next week. I will be a junior this year! It seems like yesterday I was anxiously beginning my freshman year of college. I feel some of the same nervousness this year because I am attending a new college this year and I may begin substitute teaching as well. Having never attended public school as a child, I'm a bit nervous about running a classroom. My brother reminded me the other day that even if I fail horribly in this new stage in my life, it is all in God's plan. His statement has been quite a comfort to me.

On a lighter note, something funny happened to me today. I was baby-sitting an eleven-year-old boy and a two-year-old girl, as I have been doing all week. I was doing some dusting in the dining room and found a large bouncy ball, which I gave to the two-year-old to play with. She amused herself with it for some time before wandering into another part of the house. A few moments later, I heard the toilet flush! I ran to the bathroom to discover the bouncy ball stuck in the bottom of the toilet and my little girl standing over it. I had to pry the ball out with my hand! It was kind of funny, though, and a reminder to keep her in my sight at all times.

Happy Thursday!
