Thank you all for the prayers and wishes yesterday. As I told Lori, it went really well and I hope that it continues with the same momentum. I apologize in advance if my messages are short for the next few weeks while I focus on student teaching, but be assured that God is teaching me lots of things through the classroom. I really liked this devotion I read this morning:

“A man may be haunted with doubts, and only grow thereby in
faith. Doubts are the messengers of the Living One to the
honest. They are the first knock at our door of things that
are not yet, but have to be, understood… Doubt must precede
every deeper assurance; for uncertainties are what we first
see when we look into a region hitherto unknown, unexplored,
unannexed.”
