😂 thanks Elise. I actually think I did a great job showing the girls how to do a modern teenage girl pose. It’s all about the lean and the pigeon toes.

Long post alert… ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Today is my last official day as an 8th grade math teacher. It’s bitter sweet for sure. I’ve spent 13 years at this school. When I moved here in 2006, I kept hearing how @fmmsjackets was a “family.” At first I thought it was just something they said. But they have proven that to me over the years in more ways than I have time to write about now. I’ll miss my family. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“Once a Jacket, Always a Jacket.” 😭 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I spent time cleaning out my classroom today and reading the cards and notes that students left me. (They didn’t know this was my last year.) I’ve never had so many students write to me to tell me that they loved me and would miss me next year. (I also never had so many genuine hugs on the last day of school.) They took the time to tell me they appreciated that I “actually cared” about them. Several students told me that I made them not hate math. 😂 One student even told me that I was the best part of her day. And my personal favorite is the student who simply wrote “thank you for keeping Jesus in my life.” ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Teaching is a difficult job and it’s incredibly draining. In the middle of the chaos of the school year it’s not always easy to remember the reason you got into teaching and it’s really hard to see that you’re even making an impact. But today the Lord blessed me by reminding me that He was working in and through me even when I was at my lowest and felt like I couldn’t give any more. Glory to God. Only He can do that. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Thank you FMMS for an awesome 13 years. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In August I’ll start my new job as Pastor of Worship & Creative Arts at @eternalchurch. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve already been working at Eternal for the past 16 years and I’m excited about the opportunity to invest more time and energy into this area of ministry that the Lord has put on my heart. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You can follow our music (@eternalworship ) wherever you stream music, but if you’re looking for a church where you can have real COMMUNITY, hear TRUTH from the Word of God, WORSHIP together, and be filled in a way that you can carry out your WITNESS to the world around you, I would love for you to come check us out one Sunday morning. ⁣⁣

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
WE’RE STRANGERS HERE, SOMETIMES AT LOSS
AND WONDERING WHERE IS OUR GOD
THE PAIN IS REAL, IS THE PROMISE TRUE
WILL HE COME AGAIN, WILL HE SEE US THROUGH
OUR HEARTS ARE LONGING

Chorus:
WE’RE WAITING FOR THE PEACE THAT COMES
WHEN THE FINAL VICTORY IS WON
AND THE JOY THAT COMES
WHEN ALL THINGS ARE MADE NEW
CREATION GROANS TO SEE THE DAY
WHEN HOPE CHASES THE NIGHT AWAY
AND THE LOVE THAT HAS
MADE ALL SAD THINGS UNTRUE
IN OUR HEARTS WE KEEP BELIEVING
JESUS IS THE REASON WE ARE WAITING

Verse 2:
UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN
AND GIVEN US A SON ADORED
HIS NAME WILL BE WONDERFUL
PRINCE OF PEACE, MY ONLY GOOD
OUR HEARTS ARE LONGING

Bridge:
HE WAS, HE IS, AND HE WILL BE THE GREAT I AM
THIS RUINED WORLD WILL FINALLY BE RESTORED
ALL HAIL OUR KING WHOSE KINGDOM HAS NO END
THE LAMB WILL COME, WE’LL HEAR THE LION ROAR

Outro:
WE ARE WAITING, WE ARE WAITING
WE ARE WAITING

For years my students have asked me if I have any pets and I’ve always said we have kids and they’re kind of like pets. I guess I can’t really say that anymore. I’ll just have to say “yes.”

Happy Father’s Day (from Jesus ‘78 in Orlando, FL.) Miss you dad! I’m going to find a hat like that for this summer. 😃

Not me. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

There’s one reason I got into teaching and continue to stick with it. It’s for the lesson I get to help teach the 8th grade basketball team year after year.
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Some mornings I wake up and would give anything to just stay in bed but then I remember that the end of the school year is coming and so is this game. The thought of dominating another eight grade team fuels me with adrenaline to get me up and through every day. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Today did not disappoint. The boys played hard and played good. They even surprised me a few times. But we were stronger, smarter, and the biggest difference is that we did not have the option to lose. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
Grateful to finish another year strong. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

I feel a mix of emotions this morning as I finish this series. I’m so grateful for the book of Romans, for my best friend @stevenbarth that encouraged me to go on this journey with him, and for @johnstephenpiper and his dedication to the scriptures that would take him and his church on an 8 1/2 year journey through the book. But, mostly I’m thankful for Jesus who provided a righteousness for me that I could never earn or achieve. ⁣Thank you Jesus!
⁣
Romans 3:21-24⁣
⁣
“[21] But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—[22] the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: [23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, [24] and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus...”
