God has revealed himself to me in so many ways these past 8 months, and He hasn't stopped now that I am back on my feet. For instance, if there is one age group I never wanted to teach it was middle school and the subject I never wanted to teach was math. However, God had other plans when in December I got hired as the 7th and 8th grade Math and Science teacher at All Saints. I only became full time in January when the Language Arts and Social Studies teacher retired.
What is interesting about all of this is that I can see God's hand in this. I love my job which I never thought I would love teaching middle schoolers, not to mention He has put me in a teaching community with wonderful Christian teachers who all like each other and are willing to help each other. I know I have this job until May. After May I have no idea where God will take me, if it means staying in Roswell then I'll be here. If it means going somewhere else, then I'm there. As many of you knew, 3 months ago and before, I couldn't wait to get out of Roswell. I wanted to be anywhere but here, but now all I care about is being where God wants me. I absolutely believe that He knows what is best for me and he has proven that to me. I am actually very happy with my life, and I think it's because my focus is on serving Him and doing what He wants. My goal is to continue that focus.
On another note, I listen to the radio all the time. My favorite station is KLOVE (Sorry friends at the radio station...I love you too!). I have always listened to it, but now it means so much more to me. I listened to it online in Edinburgh the night I received the news about John and it is amazing how God can use music to give us hope and encouragement. It seems like there is a song for each season/stage/whatever it is of grief that has just been such a blessing to me. I will share them all with you in a future blog, but right now I want to share one with you that I really like right now.
