It is bittersweet...just like dark chocolate

At last...it's all done!

It has been a wonderful and challenging journey. This credential program here at Vanguard has been so rewarding and so stretching that I am not who I was when I came into the program. I grew professionally as the professors pushed us over the edge several times (if not always) throughout the semester. I told them this week that NOW I'm thankful they pushed us beyond what we know what we are capable of, but at that time they we were in the midst of it, we weren't so thankful...we just laugh about it now.

Next semester is going to be different. As Advanced Student Teachers we will be in the classroom every single day. They said it's still gonna be busy but a different kind of busy. Well, whatever kind it is my prayer for my cohort (and those who have to split up their semester in 2 for various reasons) that we will not give up on the calling God has placed on our hearts. That we will press on just like what Paul said in Philippians. That we will keep our focus not on our to-do lists but on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. It's all because of Him that we are able to do all this. It's for his glory that we are here living our life the way he wants us to. And its awesome!

Then again, here we are, at the end of BST (beginning student teaching). I'm gonna miss miss my cohort and seeing the professors and interacting with staff. These were good times...but its not the end. Although...

...it still is bittersweet...just like dark chocolate.
