Every six weeks we take a week completely off of s Every six weeks we take a week completely off of school. Last week was our week. ❤️ And even though I thrive on routine and a schedule, getting up early to leisurely read my Bible for an hour with a latte in hand was the reminder I needed to slow down and listen to what He has to say to me.

So I did what any reasonable person would do and told him I had no interest in dating him 🙈. To his credit, he just continued to be the very best friend to me. Until I decided enough was enough and told him in a very cryptic and roundabout way that I liked him. He responded by standing up and walking out my back door 😂.

We watched a read aloud of I Am Martin Luther King and did some writing about his legacy. But we spent most of our time talking. They had lots of really good thoughts and ideas and questions and I sat and listened and answered. What a privilege to not only teach them, but learn alongside them. It was a good day.
