I applied for one position(that is not in my degree), didn’t get it, the principal gave my resume to another principal. The new principal had an interview with me. That very day I get a call from the original principal and a new position opened up and I accepted it. Yes my students know this.

Once upon a time, I said I would never teach in a “formal” classroom setting. But I loved pouring into students in different ministries, and God worked many different circumstances and people to bring me to my school about 7 years ago now. Several of my courses have heard different parts of this story.

God brought me into Christian education in fits and starts, but recently has confirmed a new role emerging- one involving leadership in my Christian school. I look forward to seeing what God will do, as His timing is perfect and I know He goes before me.

My children had attended the school since kindergarten. As they got older, I started to substitute teach and really enjoyed being involved in the school. As my oldest graduated and was ready to head to college , I needed a job that paid more than part time subbing. I prayed about it and asked the Lord to provide a means for us to afford helping our son with his tuition. I felt prompted to email the school one day and see if they were hiring. The principal emailed me right back and said they were looking for a math teacher and asked if I was interested. I said yes and went for an interview. When I got there she said would you be okay teaching science instead of math. My degree is in Biology so I gladly agreed and I was hired on the spot.

We came back to America broken, and out teenage son was broken also. We needed a place that would be a safe place for him to heal. A friend of ours who was in America for a year said that they had their son in a Christian school. We were planning on public school until then. We just ‘happen’ to live down the street from the school I work at. They were able to work with us the first year for tuition and I was able to sub there. The next year I started teaching there and it has been a blessing to be there with my son, and to have lives to pour into while we are here.
Probably shared parts of it.
