Recently, ICSB experienced a sorrowful loss. A past teacher lost her battle with cancer last week. She left her husband, young daughter, and young son. It was her son's birthday. The school had spent much time praying for this family, but after 4 years, this woman is home in heaven. Since the start of school, we had been getting sad updates about her cancer. It had kept a dark cloud looming over the school as many teachers, students, and families knew this family closely. It was difficult to watch my friends deal with this. Sometimes it is just hard not to question God about these things and trust that he is truly good.
Praise the Lord! I got my visa worked out. The immigration officer accepted my certificate of health insurance coverage and now all I have to do is go back to the office and pick up my actual visa. It is soooo good to not have to worry about this anymore.
Praise the Lord! I made it through TWO open houses: one for middle school and one for high school. I met many parents who were so encouraging. It seems like ICSB has just been waiting for an art teacher. I am so grateful to be here.
Praise the Lord! He has given me good friends in Hungary. I enjoyed homemade gulyas (Hungarian goulash) and palacsinta (Hungarian crepes) with friends one evening after school. I got to go wedding dress shopping with another teacher who is also engaged. I went to a coffee house and met many new people while listening to good guitar music.
Praise the Lord! My students are doing so well with their assignments! The 8th graders self-portraits look EXCELLENT. You can tell which kid is which because they actually look like themselves! My 7th graders are drawing shoes with great attention to detail. My high schools have finished their first projects and are ready to move on to bigger and better things!
Life goes on and God is good.
