Messages from above.

As usual, I don't have a lot of time, but I was thinking about a recent answer to prayer. I have been diligently praying about what I should do in my future, concerning my teaching career. I have been praying for direction. I am getting it.

I tried on the hat of being a regular classroom teacher. I could do that, I would probably like it. I researched (rather Tom researched) what it would take for me to get my license. Remember, my Bachelor's degree is in nursing. It wouldn't be that bad, time wise. The bad part comes when I think about giving up my violin students.

I struggled and struggled with what to do. I have prayed and prayed for direction. All of a sudden, from out of nowhere, for no apparent reason, I started getting compliments from students. Maybe I just needed to open my eyes. The compliments have come from the smallest of people, yet the folks that speak to my heart the most. God knows that ugh? It thrills me to think that someday, these tiny folks will be grown and they will remember me as their violin teacher. Obviously, I didn't ask for the compliments, otherwise they wouldn't be real. They have just come. God has told me that I am a music teacher.

Now, I have a call out to Colorado State University, in Pueblo, to see what they have to offer in the way of Music Education. I know now, where I am headed, I just don't know what the road will be like to get there. That's alright. I know God will pave that road as I go along.

Have a great day.

Glad you found peace amid the chaos, Shari, and that you heard God among your students. That sounds like a perfect plan to me.
