2021 isn’t only bringing a new year for this gal over here. It’s bringing a year of big life moments.
Today, I am meeting with my mentor teacher to begin planning for the semester. On Wednesday, I begin student teaching – 11 graders, in a school I began last semester with in immense worry. The school hasn’t had the best reputation as I’ve grown up, but it proved to be better than expected. All I can truly say on that front is that God really knew what He was doing when He placed me there.
Not only do I student teach, but I’m also taking the exam that gives me my teaching certificate for the state before March. It’s an exam that stresses everyone, and I’m hoping I’m not one of those victims.
And, I graduate college in May. I graduate with not one, but two degrees. So, I have my life together by now, right? Think again.
I’ve yet to begin building a true resume and applying for jobs. I know I can find a teaching job literally anywhere I go, but I also don’t want to give up my weddings. The question is, can I do both?
With so much I want to do with my life, I’m hoping and praying that God sends me in the right direction. I hope to touch the right people at the right time. I hope to follow the right passions at the right time. I hope the right doors close and new ones open at the right time. I want God’s direction this year. I don’t want to be the one making all the decisions.
God, guide me and protect me. Use me to the best of my abilities and shape me into the woman I am meant to be to fulfill the plans you have set out for my life. Each day that passes, I want to be the light that others see to guide them to you. God, use me.
I want to live humbly and walk boldly this year. I want to be able to watch as God allows all of the puzzle pieces to fall together at the right time.
I’m not “claiming” this year. I’m claiming God. I’m claiming His plan above my own. 2021 is God‘s year and I hope to see His fingerprints all over it.
Happy New Year!
