Faithful as Always

I want my life to be an encouragement to others. I want my story and my experiences to point to Christ.
I trust the Lord. I want to follow His plan.

I'm teaching this year. Not something I would have plotted for myself, but I'm actually enjoying it, and today I got to see a speck of why I might be there. For this specific time, this specific year, this specific season in my life.

A student stayed after class and talked to me about her life. I shared a good bit of my journey. She opened up. I just felt like God saying, "This is why I've placed you here, Britney."

If my students leave my class knowing more about Christ, experiencing His love through my teaching, and growing in their walk...I have done well. If they leave knowing NOTHING about Theatre, but I have helped lead them on the path of righteousness, I will count that as success. Of course, I know they will learn SOMETHING about Theatre :-) But I am actually getting settled into this whole "life-changing" process. The process in my students' lives. And my own.

I traveled to Charlotte and Columbia the past few days. I attended Elevation Church in Charlotte on Sunday. The words to the following song struck a big chord in my heart. It's really my prayer in this chapter of my life. I hope everyone reading will reflect on the beauty of God this week!

All I am, I surrender.
Give me faith to trust what You say-
That You're good, and Your love is great.
I'm broken inside. I give you my life.
I may be weak, but Your Spirit's strong in me.
My flesh may fail, but my God, You never will!
