After 25 years of serving the community the Christian school closed its doors. It was a sad time and I found myself wondering what the next step would be in my life. I began to pray about where I would like to send my daughter to school and I found the the school I am working at now. They were growing and needed more teachers and so I applied because I did not feel that I was finished with teaching just yet. I teach second grade so I have not shared my story with them.

I have an extensive educational background in mental health and education. I had no idea where God and this education was leading. I was not called to teacher, my direction has always been mental health and counseling, but I always felt a tug to stay in the education field. My experience is in the public school system, yet my children always attended Christians school. Finally, when I was feeling very discouraged and felt like I had no direction, God opened a door for my to serve as administration and school counselor for a Christian school. All of the paths linked and a divine peace came over me. God was using all my past experiences and education for His purpose.

As soon as I retired from a public school where I worked for 29 years, God called on me to start a new adventure and teach at a Christian school.

God kept calling me into teaching. Numerous friends told me I should be a teacher. They told me it was a word from God. I laughed in their face, as I clung to my dream job. Then, as I was looking for kindergarten options for my oldest, I suggested our nearby Christian elementary school teach students computer science. She challenged me, suggesting *I* should teach students computer science. And so, I did. I share this story with my students.

God closed all the doors pertaining to public school. We sought out a private school for our oldest son, and I got a job teaching where he ended up attending. A couple years later God called our family to move 3 hours away and opened the doors for me to work at a new thriving and growing Christian school.
