New Adventures for the Music Teacher

I LOVE teaching music to children.  They are so much fun.  And I love the freedom that comes when I can get on their level.  I often say that I am just a 10 year old kid in a grown up body!  I also marvel that they pay me just to sing and dance and play with kids all day long.  And I truly miss all 150+ of my kids during holiday and summer breaks, and I crave to get back to them just like a mother would.  I really love all those kids!  And, although I come home exhausted after singing for 4 hours almost daily, I still get that rush from doing something that I absolutely love.

Well, Heavenly Father never ceases to amaze me.  I have never really enjoyed staying at home during the day, especially alone.  Next year I was anticipating spending some time at home alone, while Ryan was at school (he enters 7th grade next year).  I was not looking forward to it.  In fact, I was dreading it.  I was thinking that maybe I would put the word out that I was looking for more hours of teaching.  And wouldn't you know it, before I could say anything, the principal at a Seattle Montessori asked me to teach at her campus.  I don't know how this keeps happening, but this is my 5th offer in 4 years.  Heavenly Father truly hears my heart, knows my desires, and blesses me way more than I think I deserve!  Here's to new adventures for the music teacher.
