I Never Wanted to be a Teacher

This is a guest post I wrote for another blog called The Soft Never. It’s about the weird way God guides us to our destinies despite our fears and failures. Maybe even because of them.

“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.

    “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NLT)

Each time he (God) said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 10 

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)
