Favorite Verse (see below in Personal Statement)

Personal Statement "I had been attending Vacation Bible School and soon realized I needed Christ in my life.  My mom led me to the Lord when I was 7 years old.  Since my dad was the pastor of a very tiny church, I was "drafted" by my parents to help out in Sunday School.  I began my teaching career at the age of 13 with my own Sunday School class.

While a student at Bob Jones University, the Lord impressed upon my heart to become a missionary in whatever field He chose for me.  The Lord led me into Christian school teaching upon graduation from college, and with fall 2008 I am now beginning my 37th year of teaching.

The Lord had used a series of events to lead us here to Heartland Christian School 7 years ago.  In our home, we have a verse that hangs on a wall that is a constant reminder of how I need to have Christ lead and guide my life.  The verse reads as follows: In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths."  Proverbs 3:6 

Most Memorable Educational Moment:  A man had stopped me in a store about 10 years ago and thanked me for teaching his two children when they were in K-5. I had not seen the man for several years after I had taught his children.  He reminded me that I made a real difference in both their lives as they had had trouble with reading when they first entered kindergarten. I had one child one year and one the following year.  I in turn asked how they both were doing.  He said his son and daughter were both living in New York. His son was a medical doctor and his daughter an attorney.

It was such a blessing to know I had a small part in their lives when they both were small.  Their parents believed that having their children in a Christian school was important to their education.

Favorite Verse "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God -- this is your spiritual act of worship.  Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- His good, pleasing and perfect will."
