Numbers 3:38 …They were responsible for the care of the sanctuary on behalf of the Israelites…. (NIV)
I have felt the call to teach since I was a 15 year old high school sophomore who had a drama teacher whose belief in me changed my life. I wanted to provide that same kind of life-changing belief for others. The intervening decades haven’t all been sunshine and roses, but I have never lost that rock-solid faith that God called me to this profession and has equipped me to do this job well. Thank You, Jesus.
Numbers 3:38 …of Moses and of Aaron and his sons, who had the final responsibility for the sanctuary on behalf of the people of Israel…. (ESV)
Commentary on Numbers 3:38 verse states: “God’s order and organization extends to certain jobs for certain people to do,” which put me in mind of my journey into education. I think He could have used me effectively in other careers, I think I could have performed any job for His glory with the proper mindset, but I sure do feel like that fact that I felt and heeded His call into education has allowed me to love this job and my students like I do.

Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for Your presence in my life. Thank You for calling me to this job and for sustaining me here. Any good I accomplish is to, for, and because of You. Draw me closer to You as I strive to shine Your light for all to see. Amen.
Numbers 3:38 …They were responsible for carrying out the services performed in the Holy Place for the people of Israel…. (GNT)
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
