What I’m thinking about……
In response to a sermon our pastor preached on Sunday, I’ve been thinking about the following questions:
Where does God want me/us?
How will God use me/us?
Am I letting God use me?
Am I willing to move toward painful places?
How can I be a presence in our community?
I feel excited to explore these questions in the coming months. Please ask me how I am progressing in my thought process. Right now, I haven’t gotten very far.
I am confident that God has gifted me to teach, and so my job is a big ‘yes, God wants me there’. But, I am unsure whether I am supposed to be moving toward a “low income” school. Although, it seems that our school is becoming more that way, which excites me. Right now, I think I am where God wants me.
Am I letting God use me? Not so sure. Honestly, my head’s been buried in teaching young children and writing about past experiences to prove to someone in Texas that I am a good teacher (see prior post entitled ‘my damn box‘). This is the first chance I’ve had to breathe and to think about something other than teaching in months. I think NOW I will let God use me, but I don’t think I have been earlier this year.
Right now, I just feel excited to be where God wants me and to return to my Mission Year Values of Loving God, Loving People, Nothing else matters.
