I look at my life as one big adventure!  It has been over the past 54 years; some good and some not so good, but all leading me to where I am today:) Maybe it’s the restlessness inside me that keeps me moving or looking for the next challenge.  Or maybe, I’m just living my life!

I feel today as if I am beginning a new adventure.  I have a new school, a new grade level, and new picture on my badge; I’ll be meeting new teachers and making new friends.  I will be going through a lot of changes, but all necessary to continue on my new journey.

My summer is just about over.  School will be starting, the kids will be filing into my classroom ready to learn and see what 4th grade is all about.  I look back on my summer and I feel very proud of all that I did on my own.  I hiked, went kayaking, road tripped it, saw old friends, made new ones and all by myself.  I didn’t need a man to do all of those things.  I felt alive and happy.  I have a new-found confidence that is going to and already has taken me places I’ve only dreamed of.

I just want to say for those of you who are still struggling, be patient and let God do his work.  He does have a better plan for you.  I would have never thought a year ago that I would have come this far.  My faith has brought me to this point.  Stop running and hiding.  Walk through it and come out a winner!

“It doesn’t do any good to stick your head in the sand, you’re butt is still sticking up in the air.”  Face your life head on and keep smiling.  God is with you:)

Keep moving forward,

Kimberly Rae
