"For I know the plans..."

Jeremiah 29:11  "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

As this school year reaches the final quarter and I look back on what was, I am completely blown away by how blessed I have been.  My first year of teaching has been pretty much perfect.  The classes I teach are awesome, I enjoy every class in it's own individual way.  My homeroom is beast and it will always be my first and favorite homeroom.  I believe that I belong where I am at, that I am doing an amazing job and I take pride in that because of the preparation that I have had over the past 4-6 years.
I am now at the point where I'm certain I won't be back at DMMS next year and I am completely torn by this fact. I know that I am doing a great job and am in love with my classroom. I don't want to leave it. I don't want to leave Mankato.  This is part of life though as even a year ago I didn't think it would be possible for me to be teaching at DMMS.  I know that I can't write a story that is going to fulfill my life as much as God can write the most adventurous, most exciting story for my life.  I am at an understanding that God is the God of the impossible. He can do whatever He wants, wherever He wants and however He wants. As long as I am being obedient I full well know that He'll lead me to wherever I need to go.
If He wants me in Mankato, He'll make a way for me to stay in Mankato. If my timeframe to be a teacher in Mankato was only just this year, I will praise Him and go on to wherever He wants to use me next.  I will be completely sad and torn if I have to leave this city as the friends I've made, colleagues I've met and students I've affected will forever be in my heart. 
"Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming." This year has been a success. I've done my best, but sadly it doesn't matter.  I do not know what the future holds for me, if I'll remain in Mankato or go teach somewhere else, but I do know that I will prepare the fields for rain and trust that God will lead me to where He wants me to be.
