I have a crazy, wonderful life. My husband, Aaron, is a wonderful man of God that loves me. I have two precious boys that keep me running all day, Boston (4) and Easton (2). I am privileged to teach High School English at a private school in Kennedale. God has blessed me beyond measure. When I look back at my life, I can see how God has been guiding me all along. One decision, made in High School, set the course for the life that I am living today.
My senior year of High School I received a full ride scholarship to a state school. It fit into my plans of pursuing a law degree and making money. However, I felt like God was calling me elsewhere. God wanted me at Arlington Baptist College. I had no idea why. The majors offered did not fit into my future plans, but I knew that was the place God had for me. I decided to major in Education and left all of my plans at home with my unused scholarship.
They say hindsight is 20/20. If I would have known then, what I know now, I never would have worried about my decision to attend ABC. I received an education that cannot be found anywhere else. My teachers knew their material and were truly invested in me as a person, not just as a student in their class. My classes were small, so the teachers knew my name and also my strengths and weaknesses in their particular course. I learned how to be a teacher that teaches the whole student and not just the small aspect that my subject touches. The most important lesson I learned at ABC, though, was that I serve an awesome God that loves me and only has my best interest at heart. He knew where I needed to be, and He showed me how to get there. I only had to listen. While I was attending ABC I received the very best education that I could have imagined. It was a God-inspired education meant just for me.
