Another Day, Another Dollar

Not really.

Teaching at Morrison isn't a job.

Teaching at any missionary school is a calling, a ministry.

It goes way beyond teaching my students to read, write, and add. It's equipping them to impact their world for Christ. Yes, that sounds lofty and quite far reaching for second graders, but the journey has to start somewhere. It means seeing beyond their reading level or their inability to sit still during a math lesson. Each child has been created by God, who in turn deeply loves each of His unique creations. Besides loving them, He also has a hope and future planned for each one, even those who came to Morrison never knowing that a man called Jesus existed.  

This, my friends, is a game changer. 

Every morning, my mission field comes to me. 

I am not only to teach them academically. God calls me to discipline, encourage, guide, lead, care for, but most of all, love His children.

Even when they don't know He even exists.

Even when they can't sit still.

Even when they can't get along with their classmates.

Even when they are unteachable.

Every day God blesses me with opportunities to model His love, His patience, His wisdom, His JOY!

I am blessed.

And humbled.

Second Graders on their best behavior!

Second Graders ready to learn! 

Well, maybe not!
