Being a teacher was surely the last thing on my mind as a choice of profession. Unfortunately all those I did love and actually tried (law enforcement, army officer, law school) just didn't quite work out. Then I married a teacher and I felt a deep urge to try my hand at it. I was experienced...all US Army Infantry Lieutenants are skilled teachers...they just teach different subjects. You know, when God Almighty chooses a path for one of his children, sooner or later....his will BE done. When I actually applied to the system I was told rather bluntly that I was the wrong race and ethnicity and pretty much the wrong gender too. But funny, doors started to open. I slid thru a system already set against me without a problem. I have stayed there and taught the other side of the AGENDA for over 16 years. Greater is HE who is in me than he who is in the world....
Often, my faith wavers. I wonder why the Lord hasn't sent an earthquake to Hollywood and why he continues to send weather trials to the good people in flyover country.
