One of my friends and I like to say really special times are "just something" when something special happens, and we have no other way to describe it...like when soldiers reunite with their families, or at weddings, or when babies are born, or we hear a song in church that gives us goosebumps, or when we hear a story about or witness something touching, moving, or inspiring that makes us cry or at least tear up (which is probably more often than either of us would like to admit.)
Six months ago I never could have guessed that I would end up right where I am. After all the tests, job-applying, interviews, preparations, and wondering about what’s next, I have officially begun a new chapter in my life—as a fulltime school counselor and citizen of small-town Nebraska.
This morning as I greeted students in the hallways, I couldn't help but have a moment. When I look back on all the stress of grad school and job applying and moving and wonder at what would happen next, I see how God's provided for me through each step (usually in ways beyond my wildest expectations.) And today I got to meet the kids He's given to me to work with for this year. I know the challenges are just beginning...but God's plans are good...and "that's just something!"
And you, my dear, are something special! Janelle and I are missing you terribly, but we know God has great things in store for you. Love you!
ReplyDeleteI saw this on Facebook... and had to read it. Congratulations!!! You will be great at that position and I am so excited for you. Wish I could tell those kids how fun you are and your extreme coolness :) I think they'll see that themselves though. Happy Trails!!!
