This has definitely been a school year of growth. The school has more than doubled (again), the English team is almost 3 times the size of last year, and God is growing me in my abilities. This has been a crazy start of the school year, but no where near as crazy as last year, Thank the Lord!
This year I began as Lead Teacher of the Middle School. I was nervous about the position all summer, as I didn't really know what to expect or if I would be able to do it well. But as the year started, I am so thankful for the leadership team that God has assembled at school. I am blessed everyday to work alongside these amazing people.
As I embarked on this new journey in administration and teaching, I learned to trust God. I am so thankful, Aimee, made me watch The Shack this summer. God constantly reminds me of things and references the movie. Right now, I constantly think about the scene in the garden. All the plants and weeds look like a mess and it is hard to see the beauty, but the camera zooms out to the aerial view and its a beautiful creation. I am constantly reminded that I don't have God's view of the situation and that I have to trust him. Although what I see is a mess, God works everything out and it is more beautiful that I could ever imagine!
So one thing that God is working out is my role at school. As lead teacher I am involved in helping the teachers of middle school get acclimated and used to our school. But as I have gotten involved in administration I have ended up doing more work with the day to day running of the school. So recently I was offered the opportunity to help fill a void in the administration. I will be working with the owner of the school, making daily operation decisions to help make the school environment better for our teachers and students. It is a big role! And I am definitely nervous. But I am so thankful for the Lord, who is with me every step of the way. And shows me that it is not by my strength, but by His. I would not be able to do the things I am doing without Him. He is the one that gave me the eye for detail and the voice to speak with authority.
I am anxious about this new journey God has me on. But I am excited at the same time! This will open many doors, and one of the doors is the opportunity to pursue my MASTERS! I am currently applying to 2 graduate programs and will prayfully start classes in January.
Please pray for me as I begin this new role at school and as I pursue my Masters Degree. I am planning on getting my Masters in educational administration.
