The edge

Eight years ago I graduated from college with a degree in Elementary Deaf Education.  I did nothing with my degree as far as many people are concerned since I never actually reaped a paycheck from it. 

I stand at an edge though.  With Savannah in school, I am back, in a very limited sense, to a place I have always heard calling at some level in my life - teaching. 

Though I haven't been in a classroom, I have been at the kitchen table, sofa, church Sunday school, or out somewhere pouring myself and what I have learned into the hearts of my little ones and anyone else with ears to listen...  when I thought I was teaching them, they really were teaching me.

I have been here on this edge before.  I have come and peeked over it but never taken the next step into the official classroom or school setting.  Will I this time?  I don't know.

The things that God has planned for me are His alone to know for right now.  There was a time where I thought maybe homeschooling was the direction He had prepared me for, only to have the doors slammed shut.  If He flings these doors wide open, then maybe it is finally His timing for me to use that which He began to prepare for me to do many years ago.  If not, then I will continue to wait, for His timing is perfect and I am happy where God has placed me at this time.  In the meantime, excuse me for a while as I stand and watch the place that continues to call me with a level of intrigue and mystery.  If teaching just isn't your thing, don't let the blog posts bore you too much, I will try to keep my enthusiasm to a minimum... maybe.
