This has been in my mind’s eye for a long while and now I am actually bringing it to fruition. People have many preconceived notions about me based on one element of my life or another. These notions are not always correct and I spent a lot of time and wasted energy trying to prove I am not who they think I am. I have instead learned I do not need to prove to others who I am, I need to start listening and believing in who the Lord says I am. He created me, He designed me and He leads me. He spent my lifetime and gave His life to show me who I am while I ignored Him to get others to see me when I couldn’t see myself. So I grow, I learn, I stumble, I fall, I look up, I go again. I inherited some titles and worked for others. Some titles I hoped for that never came to be and others are yet to come. One common phrase repeated when I reveal what I do, it’s not “you’re a teacher,” it’s “you’re just a gym teacher.” Fellow phys. ed teachers, you know what I am talking about. We all have some title that has an exasperated “just” in front of it whether from others or placed there ourselves. Those of you who came here in hopes of materials for the trade, I guess that’s another expectation I will not meet, yet I hope, you will gain a piece of insight or two, not into my proving who I am but showing how God has shown up to reveal that I am NOT JUST a gym teacher.
