Struggling


For nine years, I have taught at Annandale High School. I have, and do, enjoy what I do, but over the last year and a half, I have become very apathetic about my work. It has nothing to do with the kids or the people I work with, but what it is I do . . . teaching. I love to teach, but my passion about teaching has changed. The passion to teach secular information is waning. My passion to teach the Bible is waxing. I find it hard to see the eternal value in what I do. This makes it very hard to wake up at 4:30 every morning to go to school. My prayer is that God would lead me to a job where I teach the Bible and serve him vocationally. I also pray that He gives me contentment where I am so I will faithfully serve Him where I am, regardless of what I want. I know God's plan and timing may be different than mine, okay, it is. My struggle is honoring God where I am, serving my earthly masters as though I am serving Christ.
