Our Days are Numbered

Hi everyone,
I hope you are well. I have been teaching for about 3 weeks now. I have encountered some new challenges with teaching ESL (half my class) and native English speakers too all in the same classroom. Here are some of the things I have experienced and that I never thought about:
1. Brazilians (unless they have traveled outside of their home don't know what it means to feel cold)
2. I teach an American curriculum and I have to teach American money when Brazilians use the Real for money
3. teaching an English measuring system is hard since they use metric

But the Lord has convicted me lately that these things really don't matter but it is about sharing His Word and being an example to these kids, so I might be able to lead a child to the Lord (through His Leading Me) Enough of my pity party! Here is what the Lord said to me in His Word.

Psalm 90: "Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generation. Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. You turn man back into dust And say, "Return, O children of men." For a thousand years in your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night. You have swept them them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew. In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; Toward evening it fades and withers away. For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been dismayed. You have placed our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your presence. For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished ours years like a sigh. As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away. Who understands the power of Your anger and fury, according to the fear that is due to You? So teach us to number our days, That we might present to You a heart of wisdom. Do return, O LORD; how long will it be? And be sorry for Your servants. O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us, And the years we have seen evil. Let Your work appear to Your servants And your majesty to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands."

Lord, help me to look toward you and to be eternally focused at all times. Our days are numbered to tell about You. Let me use every opportunity to tell about You! Confirm the work of my hands. Help me not to be prideful over my work or dwell in sorrow but to focus on Your Work!

He is using every second of my life for His purpose!
Redeeming the time! Amen!
