Hindsight

Lately the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" has been on my mind especially in this season of Thanksgiving. Looking back on this past year has been a blessing. The Lord has guided each step to get me where I am now, and I am so grateful for His guidance.
Many days I still struggle with whether I am making the right decisions. Being home this year has brought much pleasure as I can participate in family activities, get around freely on my own and can work paying jobs. However there are still challenges I face each and every day. Lately I've noticed that whenever I begin to doubt the Lord does something to show me I am right where I belong.
I really do love being a teacher. I never expected to have 40+ students in my first year of teaching, and though some are harder to love than others, I truly to love each and every one and am thankful for them. Each child is teaching me something different, and I know the Lord has them in my classroom for a reason. I can also see the hand of God in my life as past experiences have provided me the patience and wisdom I need to work with some of my children.
I always said I wanted to work with kids when I grow up. The Lord brought me there, and I feel so blessed that my desires were a part of His will for my life. Looking forward to new opportunities on the horizon and watching my kids learn and grow through the rest of this school year.
