It has been over 6 months since my last blog post. Funny thing is that it feels just like yesterday. I started multiple blogs, but have not finished them. School started, teaching and coaching took over, and then over 6 months goes by. I am overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by teaching, coaching, trying to keep up in life, remembering things I should do, etc.
The good thing is that I don't have to do it alone. I have a God who cares about the little details. When everything is not going as planned, or I am too overwhelmed to move ahead, He is right there; guiding me, helping me, and directing me. No matter what. I would not be a teacher without Him. Daily I have to ask for patience, for direction, for wisdom in teaching students. Where would I be without the Lord? Teaching is a mission field. I love teaching. The moment when a student "understands" is priceless. Let alone I teach lifelong skills. I hope to some day see the things that they learn in class becoming part of who they are. Not only teaching them to be conscious of their health and physical activity, but to learn respect; to learn what it means to help others; and most of all, to know about a loving God who sent His only Son to die so that we may live.
My goal daily is to shine the light of Christ. Light drives away darkness and I can personally tell you that the public schools are full of darkness. At times it is overwhelming and suffocating. I come home and just cry. Cry from the way satan works through these kids. All the more reason to be the light. Allow God to shine His light through you! Don't let the darkness overwhelm, know that light chases darkness away. So let your little light shine!
“You are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket,
but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16
