Sometimes I wonder how or why I am here at Maxwell. I think about what things would be like if I was at an orphanage or at a more remote area. I try to figure out why God sent me here. Being a teacher can be fun and rewarding, but lately it just seems overwhelming, tiring, exhausting, draining, and discouraging. However, God says that He has gone before us and will never leave nor forsake us. I've been listening to Casting Crowns a lot lately and I really really like their music. This song I just love. Check out this verse and then listen to the words of the song on this video! Whether it's school or a job or whatever situation you are in. Realize that God has a special plan for your life and that we have a greater purpose than just life on earth. Our goal is Heaven and our "concerns/problems" here on earth are only temporary. Don't be discouraged!
"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” -Deuteronomy 31:8
