So, this isn’t the post I really wanted to write.  I would much rather be posting pictures of my classroom and all the fun activities I’m doing with my kindergartners and how I can relate to the back-to-school struggle.  That, however, isn’t the case, and I’ve just now found the time and the words to share out.

My life and my family’s life took a very different direction the day before Open House at the school where I intended to teach. I was left to make some very very very tough decisions, and one of those decisions was to not teach this school year. It was not a decision I took lightly, and it was absolutely heart wrenching to submit my resignation. But, I made the right decision in the best interest of my family, myself, and ultimately the little kiddos I was supposed to teach.

So, that’s it. I’m not teaching kindergarten.

While my teacher spirit is recovering from the heartbreak of setting up a classroom and preparing all the things for a great year of kindergarten, I am 100% positive that God intended for me to be no where but at home with my littles for another year.  (And, in case you were wondering, Faith’s health is just fine! Completely unrelated to her. See pic below for perpetual state of adorableness.)

I will keep on keepin’ on until the right time and teaching position presents itself again. Life has gone on, albeit a little differently than my plan, but I am learning in this crazy life that I lead that my plan rarely plays out. God’s got it, and I’m trying hard to embrace that reality and abide in his goodness and grace.

Happy Thursday 🙂
