Faith |
My faith impacts every aspect of how I teach. First, it guides me in the way that I interact with students. I see each as a child of God. I have the privilege of being able to walk beside them for part of their journey of faith, and I pray every day that in my teaching, students are drawn closer to God in some way. Hopefully students are able to perceive
not only the obvious times that God reveals himself to us in significant times and events, but also the small ways in which God reveals himself to us every day. I am also blessed in the respect that not only do I have the chance to serve God in my teaching, but that he blesses me every day through the students.
