and still He leads me on



today is my last day as a teacher.

i am leaving a career in education to pursue a calling in full time ministry with an organization called Young Life.
although there are parts of teaching that i will miss, like the kids, and summer vacation, i could not be more excited to be following what i believe to be God's plan for my life. it is in some ways bittersweet. but mostly sweet.

the Lord has changed my life in so many ways that i simply cannot even begin to thank Him, i am so excited that soon, very soon, i will get to spend my whole days helping to give high school folks the opportunity to hear about the good news of Jesus Christ.

as i close the door to my classroom one last time and begin a new chapter in my life i am reminded that...He has brought me safe thus far, and still He leads me on.
