What a difference...

Today my roommate from freshmen year is coming to visit from GA. I haven't seen her in almost two years. She is married and has a six month old son named Gabe. It's amazing how much can happen in just two short years.
Two years from now I will be in my own classroom, about to finish my first year as a teacher. I might be engaged. I will most likely be living on my own or with roommates. Two years doesn't seem like a very long time, but think back over the last two years. How much has your own life changed?

In two years time my life has changed drastically because of the change Christ has made in me. I found my self-worth, my calling, and my mission in my savior. What a relief it is to know where I am going and what I was created for. I was created to play an irreplacable role (big theme in Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge--if you want to know more about being a woman...or men, if you want to know more about the heart of a woman, read this book). I was created to love middle schoolers, from youth ministry to the classroom. Lord knows, someone has to love them. It's a hard job, I realize this every time I teach a lesson at my field placement, but I always did enjoy a challenge. With that, I'm out like shout without the sh-.
