"Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite

their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse,

encouraging them to create bridges of their own."

IT CAME!

Ever since I moved to Hawaii, I have been trying to become a licensed teacher just as I was back in California. In order to move here, I gave up a lot of great opportunities in the school district I did my student teaching and subbing in. Trusting God in this move was one of the hardest things I have had to do. I absolutely cannot wait to get back into the classroom!

Alright, back to the subject of this late night post....I have been hurriedly getting together all the necessary documents needed for my sub application and for the licensing board. The last piece was receiving my transcripts and, believe me, it was such a hassle. It had to be mailed TWICE! Well, today, I looked in my mailbox and lo and behold the beautiful transcript lay there. In it holds so much hope. Teaching is all I want to be doing. As a teacher, I feel blessed beyond a shadow of a doubt. Who else in the world gets to see that lightbulb moment multiple times a day and be responsible for the growth and development of young minds? It's an enormous responsibility but, it is one I truly feel called to. I miss my students. I miss being in front of the classroom. I miss the workload....who says that???

Lord, PLEASE guide me in this process. Help me to achieve success in my new home.
