Looking Forward

i'm not much of a writer. actually i hate writing. but i also know that people sometimes like to know what is happening in my life. this blog is primarily designed for those kind of people. so as i look forward to becoming a high school teacher in york pa this year i ask myself one thing. am i ready for this? i have this weird phobia of failure. crazy, right? i mean nobody fears failure anymore. well this boy does. anyhow i am excited and scared all at the same time. i mean i thought one needs brains to be a teacher. academically i don't feel very prepared. however i know that it is all up to God. things that happen to me are for my good and for His glory. i want to glorify my God in this coming year. i want to help my students learn. i want to be more than just a teacher. i want to be a mentor, a friend. this blog will be kept as a sort of progress chart to see how i do. instead of emails i'll write my thoughts here. that way you can read them if you want to or you can ignore me altogether. if you read it fine, if you don't, see if i care. this way you get to make your choice. anyhow i'll try to keep it more or less up to date with my thoughts and schedule. as of right now i have two weeks left at home before i leave for york. two short weeks to prepare and get what i need. two short weeks left with my family before moving out. in two weeks i will be moving to york. i will be in york until at least the end of may next year. should be fun. lets do this.

  3. NICE!! I love reading blogs, and especially ones from other teachers. You'll do great at York, seriously!!! Allow God to use you and He'll do amazing stuff! But be prepared, it won't all be fun.... and at times you'll think "What in the WORLD is God thinking??" But you keep trusting God, and you keep following HIS plan, and in the end you can look back and see a beautiful picture start to unfold. God is always good, and always right. And there are A LOT of good times along the journey too... :) teaching is a wonderful thing. You'll love it! God bless you!
