School Days

The opportunity to step into the role of "Teacher" has presented itself again. Am I ready for this? I thought I was finished being in the classroom. I have conflicting feelings. I do not enjoy teaching but I enjoy the students. I do not enjoy getting up before it is light out but I enjoy getting home before it is dark out. I do not enjoy staff meetings and busywork but I enjoy summertime and play. I do not enjoy prepping for a plethora of classes and grading papers but I enjoy being home to make my own meals and create dinner menus. I am looking forward to other opportunities that may arise because of my new schedule. I guess we'll see!

Elder Care?

Refugee Care?

Foster Care?

Adoption?

Let Me prepare you for the life that stretches out before you. I know exactly what it will contain, whereas you have only vague ideas about it. You would like to see a map, showing all the twists and turns of your journey. You'd feel more prepared if you could somehow visualize what is on the road ahead. However, there is a better way to be prepared for whatever you will encounter: Spend quality time with Me.

I will not show you what is on the road ahead, but I will thoroughly equip you for the journey. My living Presence is your Companion each step of the way. Stay in continual communication with Me, whispering My Name whenever you need to redirect your thoughts. This way, you can walk through the day with your focus on Me. My abiding Presence is the best road map available.
