I didn't close my eyes to keep my tears from falling, I wanted to watch my students (Kinder - 3rd since I also teach Music). We were all singing...
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing "Hallelujah!" ... Will I be able to speak at all?
I stood behind one of my students who is already a leader as we sang at chapel a few Tuesdays ago. I thought about how I WILL get to see her in heaven someday, because heaven is real, and she knows, believes and loves Jesus. How incredible and right it is that even 20 years apart in age and from completely different cultures, this little girl and I share an understanding that God is who He says He is, and that He does what He says He will do.
So I found myself imagining what it may be like to stand with her in view of the Lord someday, wondering if her peers would all be there, wondering who she will bring with her to see the face of Jesus.
School is finished and five consecutive years of teaching have come to a close (I think). I'll explain my future plans later. For now, just let me be a little melancholy. In the next few blogs I'll post, taste the little bits of where the majority of my time has been spent this year ~ you'll understand why I have been so affected by the CRICS family, whom I love deeply.

| I also wonder how many books these children will publish in their lifetime. Listening to them proudly read me their stories were some of the most priceless experiences I've had in teaching. |
