So, today one of our beloved teachers was honored for her service in our district. She is the chorus teacher at one of the schools that I teach at. She has become a dear friend to me and I have been honored to teach with her for the past 2 years. She told the story of how she got into teaching and how she ended up in Fort Mill. She also told us how she knew it was time to retire. Although the circumstances changed and situations were different-there was one constant-God and following His will for her life.
She can be happy knowing that it is her time to leave teaching because she knows without a doubt that it is God's will for her to retire this year. She knows that He has big plans for her during this new chapter of her life and she can rest in the knowledge that He is walking before her and making a path for her to follow. He has never let her down-and I know that He never will.
I hope and pray that when it is my time to leave this profession-whether its 30 years from now, 5 years from now, or 50 years from now, I pray that I will have that same peace and clear understanding of His will in my life.
May I live a life of faith that I don't miss His voice in my life-whether its about retiring, family, friends, career, children, whatever may come my way....
