I am considering myself to be a blessed woman. I get to stay home and be a wife and mother: I also get to do something I love - teach! My work background is in elementary education. I love teaching children. I've taught everything from K-12th as well as done administration, technology classrooms, and drove a bus. Now, here I am twenty two years later, still teaching, running a school, using technology, and driving a seven passenger van! I have a small class - two regular students and a part-time student. I teach fifth grade and three-year-old preschool. I get to spend time with my kids. I couldn't do this unless God had it planned. Who knew that all my teaching experience would come in so handy! God did. He orchestrated it. He gave me challenging children in the classroom to be prepared for the challenges we faced through our adoptions. He knew the intimate desires of my heart! He combined my dream of being a stay-at-home mom with my love of teaching! How awesome is our God!1 Samuel 16:7 - But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart."
Psalm 139:1 & 2 - O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
