Long Time, No Post


OK, I will try to do better. Things got crazy with the full time hours and two kids who are also busy. But things are leveling out. I think.

This is my classroom- this is what I do all day. ALL DAY, as in 7:45 to 2:45 I have little bodies running all over this room.

But, I love my job. How many people can say that? I love the kids, the teachers, the school....

And, there is more. I have often had regret because I married young, divorced and remarried soon after- sort of "tying up" my 20's. Then I had children of my own. I have always had obligations and I have regretted the fact that I did not do missionary work in my youth.

But last week in Mass, Father said something quite profound. He was discussing missions and how to serve. He asked "what is your platform? How can you make your work your platform- your mission?" At that moment it hit me that I am already serving my mission. Every day. It has been a long road to get here and have this opportunity and I couldn't be happier about it. Everything happens for a reason and we are all called in some way, if we just listen.
