Today is my last day as a preschool teacher. It has been a wonderful 7 years but not always easy. I have been faced with parents and colleagues who I have needed God's protection from.
Physically attacked by a colleague
Falsely accused of being a racist
Physically attacked by a parent
Accused of cutting a kids hair
Accused of biting a kid
Accused of lying
Being told that I was a horrible teacher
I have taught about 100 students these 7 years. I could have easily given up, lost hope, or become discouraged to the point where I quit the race God called me to run. I am so thankful to have been able to work with these families and colleagues, even the ones who persecuted me. Especially those. They are the ones who needed to see Jesus in me.
I am so thankful that God called me to this ministry of preschool. I see glimmers of what he might use me for in middle school. I am not afraid. I am not concerned. I am not doubting. I know he has it all planned out and is going to stand near me.
Take some time to reflect on those times that God has been standing right beside you, encouraging you when the situation seemed dangerous, hopeless, scary... Isn't it wonderful that our Father loves us, cares for us, and protects us? Give him praise for that today.
Today will be a mix of emotions but I stand firm in knowing that this is Gods will.
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
Thank you God for always working for my good!
