A New Beginning, A.K.A “A New School Year”

Sunday, September 2nd, 2007 | Sara the Teacher

One of my favorite reasons for teaching is new beginnings. In just a couple of days, I will be starting my third year as an 8th grade Algebra Readiness teacher. The excitement is building (and I’m not being sarcastic!). My classroom is ready, my lessons are planned, and my class rosters are set. I have enjoyed my summer, and truly found time to rest. My enthusiasm for teaching has returned and I am ready to take on the adventures the year holds!

Our worship leader, Tommy, shared a new song with us this weekend at church. I copied the words down so that I could share its message with some of my friends at work. It’s a fast-paced song that fills my heart with joy as I am reminded that I’ve been created to serve our God in a tiny classroom in Culver City, California. Here are the words… May you be blessed in knowing that God has a history to make through your calling as well:

I’m so glad I’ve been chosen

I’m so glad I’ve been set apart

I’m overwhelmed You’ve allowed me to come

And be part of Your army of love

****************************

How I cherish Your calling

Your gracious gifts and anointing

The history You will make through me

So Your glory, it may be seen

****************************

I don’t know why You would let me in

But for Your kingdom here I am

****************************

Thank You, Lord I praise You

That I get to be a part

Of showing the world Your heart

Thank You, Lord I praise You

That I get to be sent out

And proclaim Your salvation aloud

Thank You!
