i quit my job!!
that's right! on friday i accepted a new position as lead teacher and director of curriculum and home visitations for a preschool program in greenville. i am beyond excited about this opportunity. i'll be teaching four-year-old kindergarten and directing the program based on the perry high-scope preschool model. i'll be working with high-risk children, so i'm really looking forward to the chance to love on some kids who need some lovin'. my last day at united way is july 22, and my first day at my new job is july 26. phew! it's going to be a crazy next few weeks, but i can't wait!
this morning i was doing my morning catch-up on twitter, and i saw that a member of the invisible children family was killed in a terrorist bombing in uganda yesterday. i clicked on the link to invisible children's blog about the man who was killed, and i was really affected by what i read. you can read about nate henn here: http://blog.invisiblechildren.com/2010/07/in-loving-memory-of-nate-oteka-henn/. what a beautiful life. that's the kind of life i want to live. a life that is selfless and that matters - not because of who i am, but because the love of christ in me that spills over into what i do and how i live. his life had meaning and purpose - and it wasn't about money or success or climbing the corporate ladder or getting married or living the american dream. it was about doing what's right: fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves.
