Alive

I am in such an amazing season of my life. I truly feel alive and feel I am doing exactly what I was created to do.  I didn't realize how terrible the season of my life was prior to this one, I thought life was all good. Then I entered this amazing season and realized the last one sucked, big time.  It's like a mom who only gives their kids raisins for "dessert" all their lives and then one day that kid eats a piece of chocolate cake and realizes raisins are NOT dessert and cake is way better!!! That's how I feel! Being in school was hell, but I just didn't know it.  I know it was the grace of God that got me through all of that and I am so very thankful.  

Honestly, every day I am in awe and humbled by God for letting me be a teacher and speak into these kids lives.  I don't deserve to do this and there are more people qualified to speak to them, but here I am and I am so honored and feel blessed to be a part of these kids lives.  I pray daily that God would give me wisdom and guidance at how to lead these kids.  I love them all so much already and it's only the 5th week of school. 

I am so glad that I endured and got my degree to teach high school. I thank God for the people he put into my life to speak truth and wisdom during the season of my life when I was wavering.  He is so good and I can't stop saying it.
