Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts
with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
This past week/weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving. Of course I'm thankful foremost for my salvation in Christ. I'm thankful for my family, my church, my home, cars, pets....but this year, I am so thankful for my job. I started teaching art at the high school this fall and I absolutely love it. There have been very challenging times, but overall, my work is very enjoyable and rewarding.
When people say, "it's about time you got an art job," I smile and say it's perfect timing. I know God's timing is always perfect. I struggled with this myself, but as I have gone through almost a whole semester here at the high school, I realize that I needed the years I had in other areas. For one, special education. I work with several students with special needs and am able to do it well because of my past work. Also, with technology. Students here at the high school are now 1:1 with a device (Chromebooks). My three years as a computer teacher definitely prepared me for integrating digital portfolios into my curriculum.
I pray that God uses me here with my students, and am so thankful for this opportunity.
