Thankful to be a Teacher~

Next to God and Scott there is nothing I love more than my children and would do anything in the world for them!!! Being a mom is the greatest calling I have and right after that is being a teacher.

 I always knew I would be a teacher even though I didn't go into college on that track. In the midst of several major changes, God showed me I was gifted to educate. 
My grandmother was a teacher. 
My mom was a teacher. 
I am a teacher and Savannah is a teacher... sort of runs in our family. :)

Over the last days I have held my children close as have all of you I am sure and whispered thankful thoughts to God. 
I am thankful God chose teaching for me!
I am thankful I have taught in some of the best schools in the country!
I am thankful for all the friends I have made through teaching (fellow teachers, administrators, and parents)! 
I am thankful for every! single! student! I have ever taught and LOVED! 
And now I am thankful God has called me to teach my little ones at home each day!

This is where we spend our days together~
 Nestled together usually on the floor talking, reading, laughing, and learning. Not too much different from my classroom days. Scott used to say if he loved his job half as much as I did, he would have it made. 

As I reflect on the Sandy Hook School tragedy, I am so proud of the teachers there and their choice to love their children so well. I can well imagine their pain and continually pray for the parents of the lost ones. There are just no words. God bless them all in this time of grief! I pray His richest blessing on that community, every school, and every home where children are educated.
Thankful to be a teacher!
