What role are you most comfortable in? Are you a business
person? A teacher? An artist? A doctor or nurse? Perhaps you are gifted in many
different roles. I have always gravitated towards roles that involve people.
For example, I have been a teacher, coach, and counselor thus far in my life. A
new role I am learning is being a mother.
Two questions that I often get asked are, “Do you like
staying at home?” And, “Do you miss teaching?” The answer to both questions is,
“yes.” I absolutely love every second of getting to be with Grace and Kalei; on
the flip side, I do miss the interaction with middle school students and adults.
I have realized that I am still a teacher; but now my subject matter is feeding
babies, changing diapers, napping, playtime, reading time, tummy time, rolling
time, sitting time, standing time, bouncing time, and of course, dancing time.
My lesson plans now consist of preparing healthy meals for the girls (and Cole and me), networking with other children who are Grace and Kalei’s age, and organizing my ‘to do list’ in hopes of getting lots accomplished while they are napping! I am grateful for the precious gift of time that I have been given to be with the girls. I am equally grateful for the sacrifices our parents make to come watch the girls so I can get my middle school student and adult interaction ‘fix’ while substitute teachingJ

Let Them See You by JJ Weeks Band
Take away the melodiesTake away the songs I sing
Take away all the lights
And all the songs You let me write
Does the man I am today
Say the words You need to say?
Let them see You in me
Let them hear You when I speak
Let them feel You when I sing
Let them see You
Just let them see You in me
Who am I without Your grace?
Another smile, another face
Another breath, a grain of sand
Passing quickly through Your hand
I give my life, an offering
Take it all, take everything
Let them see You in me
Let them hear You when I speak
Let them feel You when I sing
Let them see You
Just let them see You in me
With every breath I breathe
I sing a simple melody
But I pray they'll hear more than a song
In me, in me
Let them see You in me
Let them hear You when I speak
Let them feel You when I sing
Let them see You
Let them see You in me
Let them hear You when I speak
Let them feel You when I sing
Let them see You
Just let them see You in me
Just let them see You in me
