The kids know

On Friday I had the chance to speak in chapel. I spoke about Jonah and how God gave him mercy (our theme of the month). I then vaguely told the kids of how God asked me to do something that I didn't want to do and that after hearing the story of Jonah several times that week, I knew that I had to obey. 

I've been able to talk to them a little bit about it. Today was hectic as I had an afternoon field trip with the 4th graders. 

I've got my kitchen just about all packed up. Everything is already so empty that it doesn't even feel like my apartment anymore.... Which is good for the grieving I guess. 

At this point I'm just looking forward to being in Philly and getting some much needed REST.
