on days when i doubt my effectiveness as a teacher

this quote reassures me that i am where i'm supposed to be...

"God has created me to do him some definitive service. He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission."

- John Henry Newman

but sometimes I wonder if I didn't get sidetracked along the way. is there somewhere else I'm supposed to be that I don't know about yet? this certainly can't be IT, can it? I know I am useful and needed in every aspect of what I do, secretary, mother, daughter, sister ... some jobs have passed along to others, like the job of "wife." I guess I wasn't needed in that role any longer. maybe that's freed me up to be useful somewhere else instead. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. and in the meantime, be as useful as I can, right where I'm at! Thanks for the thought-provoking post, Julie!
