Currently April

Can I get a hooray for Spring break?  This week was only 4 days long - with a field trip yesterday - and I don't think I've been as tired as I was yesterday since the beginning of school.  After our trip to see a play yesterday I wanted to curl up and go to sleep - so I bolted out of school after the kiddos left and I felt decently cleaned up and headed home to catch some sleep.  I think I must have been out in 5 minutes and slept for a good two hours.  It was sooo needed.  Since it was such a busy week I didn't get a chance to link up with the Currently with Farley at Oh Boy Fourth Grade and since I knew today was going to be a day off and full of relaxing, it's a perfect day to start the linky.  I've seen so many great things with my teacher blogger friends these last few weeks and their IG posts so I'm excited for some time to get caught up on that reading to see all the wonderful things you guys are doing in your rooms and inspire me in mine!

Listening: Hillsong Young & Free and their CD's have been on repeat the last few days.  All of the songs they have on their albums speak so true to my heart - especially as I was preparing it for this week where we remember His sacrifice for us.  I love their song "Sinking Deep" as well as "The Stand".  If you haven't checked it out - get on it. You won't regret it.

Loving: SPRING BREAK.  We got to leave school 15 minutes after the kids yesterday and have off until Tuesday.  While it's not a full week long break, it's a break none the less and I'll take it.

Thinking: We have so much going on this weekend - something I'm excited about and looking forward too.  My hubs works at our home church in town - Celebrate - as the creative director.  Easter is such a busy time for him and after today, it'll be nice to get to see him more often.  We have plans to eat dinner and go to a movie with some friends tonight - Fast and Furious.  As long as there is candy and popcorn, I'm good to go. :)  Tomorrow, he's playing drums at church for Easter services and it's going to be so awesome to watch all of his hard word come together. I am so proud of him and what he's doing for Easter.  He has such a desire to reach people for Christ and doing so in a creative way is his passion.  Sunday his family will be in town and we will get to see our nieces - YAY!  Monday he took off so we are going to soak up some time together and relax before the week starts again.  Busy weekend but so much to look forward to.

Wanting: The weather this week has been so incredibly nice - minus the amount of wind that has accompanied everyday.  Today, it's a bit chilly and I'm just ready for it to be consistently 70 degrees so I can have the windows open and enjoy warm. 

Needing: Starbucks Peach Green Tea. Period. This was my everyday drink of choice in the summer and it has officially come back to Starbucks for the summer.  I've been asking for months whenever I walk into a Starbucks when it would be coming back and finally got an answer of "April 1st" a few days ago.  Better believe one of those will be in my future this weekend.

Eggs-plain: My name is pretty simple -Surrendering Camie - I've given up my life to do what Jesus has called me to do - teach.  While it's exhausting at times, and somedays I wonder if I can keep doing it, it's what Christ has designed and called me to do.  Everyday I surrender to His will and His design and follow in faith for what He has planned.  Even when that gets hard - because believe me, it does - I know that His plan for me is to keep me safe and not to harm me - to give me a hope and a future.  He is a good God.

Hope your Spring break and Easter weekend is full of family and relaxation, and that you get to remember what Jesus did for you - and how you are deeply loved and covered by His grace!
