This is such a weird time as a teacher. While I do love getting up later each day and wearing leggings and sneakers to work. 🙃 I do miss seeing my students. 13 years ago I was working part time as a learning support teacher at my kids elementary school. But.....Warwick then told me my position was being eliminated. They asked me to take on a full time position at the high school opening up a new Life Skills classroom. I got to be honest. I did NOT want that job!! I wanted to stay at my kids elementary school. I really didn’t feel the job was for me. Curt and I prayed fervently about it and we felt I should accept the job, despite my doubt and apprehensions. I remember saying,”this must be of God because it makes no sense to me, but I guess I have to trust Him in this!” 13 years later I can not imagine teaching any other group of students! I have grown in this job, I have seen God’s purpose and plan unravel. I was able to be at the high school teaching with Curt when he was first diagnosed and needing help. I was at the high school as Tyler and Madi went through those wild and crazy high school years. And I have grown to LOVE all my students and their unique, fun and endearing personalities. I MISS seeing them every day in my classroom. 💕 •And as I look back it’s beautiful to see God’s hand in it all. Friends, sometimes things make no sense, we can’t understand what is happening and why. Trusting God in tough circumstances is tough indeed. But I can assure you when you do that is when you grow! God doesn’t always take away the pain and difficulties and things that don’t seem to make sense. But He does see you THROUGH them when you trust Him with all your heart and mind. 💕 😍Just a Sunday morning shout out to some of the coolest students at Warwick and to the coolest and faithful God who can see us THROUGH all this mess .🥰 . . #covidthoughts #specialeducationteacher #trustinggod #trustingodsplan #endalz

#lefcpets didn’t work real well for us this morning 😳😂🥴

Thankful for such fun times with my family. Love when my brothers, niece and sister in law come to visit. We ALWAYS share a ton of laughter together. As I have said many times if you are walking a rough,painful or long journey make sure you find some time for laughter. It’s ok to laugh when hurting, I know some can feel guilty about it. But honestly it helps to bring healing and helps a not normal world feel more normal 🙂🤣🤩😂🤣😊😆😁💕 . . . #fireandicefestival #lititzfireandice #lititz #family #endalz #weareTHOSEpeople 🙂 #mytownisthecoolest #nobodywouldsingwithus 🤣
