There are many times during your life that are frustrating. It may be situations that you are in with your job, things at home, your children, or just people making you mad in general. After a very long week, I often think about the path that led me to 2012. I have lived around the world, loved and lost, loved and lived, had to wonderful children, turned 30, and am now a principal of a school. I NEVER would have imagined this as my path 10 years ago.
Tonight on my drive home from the 6th grade retreat, I was pondering the thought of being created in God's image. Within the creation of love was a plan for me. I don't know exactly what the next year will hold for me, but I'm okay with letting God guide me. I can't say that I have enjoyed everything along the path this year, but I know that along every road are bumps. Some are little pebbles and some are big ass potholes!
Where ever He may lead me.......I will go. I will accept. I will let go and let God.
I know, I am not perfect. I make mistakes and am in a position that every move I made is under a microscope. My professors always told me that being a principal will be a lonely job. You will have the weight on your shoulders and some days, someone will throw you 5 more pounds to see if you can handle it and then laugh when you fall.
Well, I have news for everyone who doesn't know me..... I have God on my side. I'm not afraid of harsh words, I'm not afraid to do what is best for my school and the children in it, I'm not afraid to ask difficult questions, because I have God on my side. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't part of the plan. I'm not afraid of a challenge and I'm not afraid to put the time and effort into anything that is an investment in my family, my school, and faith community.
So next time you try and knock me down, remember who's on my side. Veggie Tales always said, "God is bigger than the boogie man....."
