Changes

Life has a way of changing things.

What a reality! What a thrill!

It brings joy and laughter, sorrow and tears---but always an experience to learn from----always a building block to the future.

For me, it took place in the form of my recent move to Wisconsin to teach on Faculty at Northland International University! God is always working, always thinking of us, always keeping us on our toes as we live each day. This doesn't mean things will always be good, but they are always for our good.

In my instance this time, it appears to be both good and for my good. I am enjoying myself immensely. I will say that, just as I told a friend recently, knowing that the lives of others are somewhat your responsibility really makes you think! But I think it is something we should all contemplate. We cannot live life just for ourselves. What we do affects those around us in some way---big or small. I only hope that I do this future generation justice. With God's help, I hope to be gracious, loving, professional, and honest.

I am loving working on my class lesson plans, while still thinking through private lesson teaching. What a year it will be. I actually cannot wait to see my new students---and keeping in contact with my current ones in Chicago is always a treat. Getting my monthly lessons is the topping on my popcorn! ;)I will leave you all to guess which one I will use tonight! :)
