I know I've said this before, but I am SO HAPPY that God brought me to this job. And it really is more than a job; it is my life right now. These kids make me happier than I could ever say, and I am starting to think that I'm making a real difference in their lives, too.
On another note, my company just bought a really nice camera, and I'm the designated photographer. I've gotten some wonderful shots of the kids, and thought I'd include a few here.
Aren't they beautiful? Each of these children is someone who I've formed a meaningful relationship with. They all have different strengths, different needs, different problems, different blessings. They each make me smile for a different reason. I worry it sounds trite when I say this, but I mean it with all of my being - I am SO BLESSED to have each of them in my life.

I was thinking recently about this burden I feel to make my academic work "count" for something. I've worried I am not applying what I've learned. But then I realized that the same God who led me there has me here, too. I am not outside his will and it is all working together in His timing and in His mysterious yet good way. I think we can rest in that and continue to trust that the Iliad and Euclid's Elements and The Clouds and all the rest will serve a greater purpose in the end. I am so glad you are content! God will really use you where you are and I love reading about it!!
Hey babe! The pics of the kids are wonderful. And the fact that you are content - it really shows. I thought you were a whole new person when I saw you in Vermont. Love you! Irina
