For the good

 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.~Romans 8:28

I’ve been called back into the classroom to teach.  I can respond with rebellion or expectation for what the Lord is going to do through me.  I choose expectation.  I choose to stand on the truth that God is with me and will be with me every time I step into the room.  He will be with me for every interaction with a young person.  

I choose to believe that He is preparing me for something and whatever that something is will be for my good and His purpose.  Change is not always easy.  I loved my job of supporting schools and building their capacity, but for now students need to be built up.  I choose to lean on God and trust His path. 

 I am not alone in this journey.  Others are taking the same path as me.  I pray that we all use it as an opportunity for growth and to be a light to the youth. I pray that we stay humble as we face different challenges.  I pray for a spirit of cooperation as we remain obedient to His call.

Lord, You know what we stand in need of and what is best.  Help us to trust You.  Help us to build relationships with the youth in our classrooms sharing your love.  Help us to be firm, but fair.  Protect us in the climate of Covid.  Help us to be your ambassador.  In Jesus name. Amen
