Teacher Like You–Part 2

Awhile back I posted about my missionary daughter sharing from a mission trip she was on in Fiji:

“I wore my locket in the village and all the kids wanted to see (and show their friends) my mom, dad, and baby sister... one little girl was asking me about you and dad and asked me what you guys did. I told her that you taught us and later I told her that, before coming to Fiji, I was a teacher. "Oh, you're a teacher like your mother." she said. I thought about it and realized how true it was... I'm a teacher like you.”

You can see that post here:   Teacher Like You

  

This daughter has entered a new season..

                           of teaching…
      of growing….              of being stretched… 

She is teaching at the YWAM based she is serving at…
   teaching K- 2nd grade 

                         … an area she has not formal taught before 

but an area that the greatest teacher – her savior - has prepared her for 

   …by having 6 younger siblings

                 …an area she has helped her Mom teach
         
She is teaching 5 awesome little hearts…
                                                            
                    5 little hearts wide open with wonder…
                                       5 little hearts excited to grow and learn…
and…
            my daughter has the privilege of guiding them…
                         on this glorious journey…
                                 of exploring their creators world…

In this one room classroom… 

more than academics will be taught…
      more than abc’s and 123’s will be recalled…
              more than structure, routine and habits will be formed… 

because these 5 children are blessed…
            to have this one teacher…   

who will challenge them to discover what is not seen…
      who will surround them in creative energy…
               who will see their potential and call it out…
                       who will recognized their weaknesses and gently guide them…
                                 who will see their strengths and help nurture them….
                                          who will embrace them and love them for who they are… 

...because her Savior has done the same for her

I am so excited to see her have this opportunity to be…
              Her Saviors arms and heart to these…
                                   5 children
