News


Last week I left my teaching position. It was a difficult decision. I mean, we had a month left of school, the kids would have to have a substitute, and I might upset people at the school. However, stress and work hours had came to a point that I was feeling sick, having daily headaches and frequent migraines, and finding it difficult to get through the school day. So, I resigned. 

I thank those in my family that were there to support me and even send me a card from Michigan. After grading those last papers and handing them off to the substitute after entering the grades, I've been feeling a lot better. I'm feeling my old self again, something for which I'm grateful (and Isma is too). After working about 80 hours a week, it's been strange to have so much free time. Hopefully I'll find a new, less stressful, position soon.

    I'm thankful the weight has been lifted! Life is too short to spend that much time in a job that brings you nothing but down! I'll be praying something better comes along soon!

    It's so good to see and hear the more familiar Erica! As you reflect on the year you will find that you will continue to learn from this year's experiences. Hugs. Keep moving forward.

    Todo lo puedo en Cristo!
    Seguimos orando por ti!
    Aunque es un sentimiento agridulce tener que dejarlo, me alegra que ahora puedas descansar! Te quiero muchísimo. Estoy segura de que Dios te mimara en este tiempo y te dará algo mejor! Ahora a descansar en sus brazos preciosa!

    Just learned about your resignation. Our bodies and minds can only handle so much and each of us is different. You did what was right for you (and Isma.) I'll be praying for you. Aunt Debra
