Time for more.

My passion lies in teaching. I never would have known that I would be a good teacher, or that I would love it. But God put my students in my path and I fell madly in love with them. My uncle said the other day that if you start working with kids you realize nothing else could ever be as fulfilling. And it's true. Seeing the light bulb go on for a child - for your student - knowing that I helped them learn and grow has created a deeper joy in my spirit than I could have ever imagined.

But God puts desires in our hearts for a reason and I feel him tugging on my heartstrings to do more.

To sing.

I have spent years teaching other people to sing, and now God is telling me it's my turn. I feel it in the deepest part of my spirit, that this is what I am meant to do.

The hardest part, or the scariest part, is having no idea how. What the first step is.

But I just have to try. It's time to start.

The beautiful part is that I have my students, my job that I love, an amazing home to live in, and people to support the journey I want to embark on. I have everything I need... now it's time to take the next step.
