Thank you Lord for another incredible year at St. Mary's. As I look back on my last three years there, I feel like I have been there much longer. I have really come to love the place and the people there so much. I feel like I have grown a ton as a teacher since my first year, and I have learned a ton about myself and how I operate as an adult. It's very different being on the other side of the classroom. I love the challenge of teaching and striving to be the best teacher I can be.
I finish up my Masters of Education at the University of Tampa this summer! Speaking of challenges, that has definitely been one for me this year. Night classes twice a week from 6-9 pm just about did me in a few times. I give you the credit God for giving me the strength and energy to get through those classes. I never thought I would go back to school after I completed my undergrad at Furman, but God I guess you had different plans for me. Thank you for using St. Mary's to give me this opportunity.
The 8th graders have their commencement ceremony tonight. I am definitely going to miss this class a lot. I am praying about how to continue a Bible study with them next year as they go into their first year of high school. Jesus, I pray that you will shine through them so that they can be light wherever they go. Remind them that you are the one who gives life to the full, and I pray that they will discover who they are as Christians and who they are as men. Continue to use me to help point them to you.
I'm about to go to our last faculty meetings of the school year. Thank you so much Lord for my role in this school and the health you have given me to do this job. Without you I am nothing.
