Humbled

The new school year has been pretty incredible. We've already been in school for more than six weeks. It's amazing how quickly time goes by when you're doing what you love and staying busy. My days are full, my nights are busy, and my weekends are a little bit of everything.

I'm so blessed to love what I do everyday. I've been humbled and honored this week by my colleagues. They voted me the Teacher of the Year at my school. I've only taught a few short years and feel overwhelmed that other teachers have noticed my teaching. I thank God for giving me the chance to serve Him in such a unique way. I know I would not be where I am without Him, nor would I be able to accomplish all that I do without His gifts, peace, love, joy, and strength. I'm blessed to share His love through my actions. He is my all in all. I am nothing apart from Him. It is the gifts He's given me that allow me to enjoy what I do, and shine brightly at doing my job.

I care so much about these kids. I am content in my life. So grateful for the many blessings and privileges I have. Whatever will be will be. God is beyond good.
