My a-ha moment

Today was the orientation meeting at my new school. A very casual, laid back an around the table meeting where the administration met with new staff and faculty. I start by saying that I think that I will be a great fit to this school and I could be here for a while, but that's up to God and His plan...

During this meeting all of the preliminary stuff was discussed, expectations, computer use, report cards, parent meetings and moving the school forward with it's certifications and its plan for the future.

Some where in that meeting while they were discussing something that didn't pertain to my grade level (yes, MY grade level) my mind wandered off and a ray of sunshine just filled my spirit and screamed YOU ARE A TEACHER..... I couldn't stop smiling. Thinking back, the administrative person facing me kept looking at me funny but I didn't think anything of it. She probably though "Uhhh-ohhh this chic is losing it!" but I don't care. I was grinning from ear to ear. God has truly blessed me and I am so thankful for it.

While all of this grinning was going on, and this self-operated intercom system in my soul was rejoicing, one side of my brain was freaking out. (I am left handed so I will blame it on that side, the logical side...) It began to freak out about the curriculum, the first day, all of the unknown stuff that I could freak out about. (I need to know what to expect.) But it was a good freak out, a well deserved one but a good one. This position cant throw anything at me that I cant handle or cant figure out! I am confident and I will succeed and above all things, it will give glory, honor, adoration and praise to the deserving one, My Father, My Lord and Savior. Amen!
