A new stage and a new title: 8th Grade Teacher.
It’s not that I put so much stock in my identity being found in my work, but with this upcoming job being such a wonderful fit, I feel blessed that God has planned this in to the next phase of our life!
So the school is Covenant Day School, associated with Christ Covenant Church. I’ll be teaching 8th grade students Language Arts and also will be involved with a few other things on campus. The school’s philosophy of education and Christian stance on education are very near to my own and they are refreshing amidst the recent news of public school layoffs and budget cuts. I had such a great interview and so much about the school seems to be perfect for Laura and me in this time in our lives and tailored for me in this stage in my teaching career. I’ll be starting in the fall and will be able to take a few seminary classes at the same time, which will be busy, but worth it over the 5 years I am planning to be working toward this MDiv degree.
In all this, please hear how thankful we are for your prayers and encouragement through this hectic transition. We are seeing God’s hand in each little detail and for that we are thankful and humbled by our own lack of faith in Him. We ask you to please continue in prayer as we know this new classroom is in many ways just as much a mission field as any, and I hope that God uses me to impact these students’ minds, hearts, and lives for Christ.

We actually went to a daughter church of this one last Sunday, but I think we are going to check it out, especially as it has potential for great new friends and school community.
That is so great! It looks like a place you’ll really thrive. So are you going to that church as well?
