Moving from Wakarusa to Annapolis reflects more than just a physical move. This is what I know. While I would have been happy to settle in for a secure job in northern Indiana and the predictable, it was not meant to be. Every fiber in my being knows this is a God-thing. I drove off the John Adams High School parking lot this past May knowing I am not in the right spot. There is another work that I am being asked to do. I told my English Dept chair ..." I am the piece of the puzzle that is so nearly a fit.... but push it, pry it, squeeze, twist and turn it..it is not exactly a fit...there is something else." She says... " we're sorry to have you go, but I wish you a post where you will find so much bliss.... so much joy that I have in doing what I do... I'm lucky."
After 39 years of teaching, she says, "I will never retire: I have been teaching before God was born and will probably retire after He dies. " Is this warped or great theology?
The English Dept chair at JAHS would not be labeled as an Evangelical believer. Nonetheless, she has found what her Creator has made for her to do and she is extremely fulfilled in what she is doing.
THAT is my quest... that is what I am up to. Though it feels precarious in these uncertain times, letting doubt, fear, uncertaintly and what ever control me is not much of an option. As the song goes," ain't nothin' gonna slow me down, on no.. I got to keep on movin... I want to move ' into HIS plan for my life.
