Thank You Lord!

Thank you Lord for everything that you have blessed me with! Thank you first and foremost for saving my soul! You knew from the beginning of the world who I would be and what I would do, but You still choose to die on a cross to save me! Well me and everyone else who has asked for Your forgiveness! I don't deserve Your love and forgiveness, but I am so thankful for it!

Thank you for allowing me to teach these past six years, you have given be the opportunity to work with some of the most awesome children I could every have asked for! I pray that as they look back on our time together that they will remember that Ms. Smith loves them and only wanted the best for them! Thank you for allowing me to have worked on perfecting my teaching abilities throughout this ordeal! Thank you for the colleagues that You have put in my life some who have strengthened my faith, some who have tested it, and others who You have allowed me to share my faith with! Lord I pray that they will remember me and the fact that it was You who gave me the strength. The strength to apologize for when I was wrong, the strength to stand up for what was right, and the strength to see and understand Your will through it all!

Thank you for allowing me to see Your hand in all of these situations! Thank you for guiding me through it all and speaking to my heart when I have needed it the most! Thank you for the grace to handle these situations, for the wisdom to see Your hand working through them, the knowledge to know that all things work together for go for those that serve the Lord, the strength to not crumble into a million little pieces but to keep pressing on towards Your perfect will, and the peace and understanding that You had planned this from before the world began and Your will is perfect!

Thank you Lord for everything! I love You and will praise You forever more! AMEN!

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day.
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray.
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, my Lord,
no trouble, trouble I see.
There will be peace in the valley for me!
