Goooooo PATRIOTS!

Today on a whim I decided to go back to my high school. I visited with my old choir teacher and my voice teacher. They look and sound great. We talked about how the choirs are doing and all the exciting things they are up to. I filled them in on my life and what I have been up to in the last 5+ years. It was so great seeing them! I was such a HUGE choir nerd back in the day and these women were amazing teachers as well as role models. I also chatted a bit with my principle. I love that guy. (I was always one of his favorites hahaha!) He is a man of God who really holds firm to what he believes. No compromise. What you see is what you get. Then to top it all off I talked a bit with my senior year English teacher, Mr. Safreed. What a strange, interesting man. He's about 5' tall but his personality doubles him in size. The man is absolutely passionate about what he does. I HATED English but my senior year it was my favorite class. I couldn't wait to get to class... (that is saying a lot) He makes all of his seniors write a letter to them selfs and then mails it out 5 years later. I received mine about 6 months ago. I laughed at first about how ridiculous i was back then. I said I hope to be married with kids on the way... ummm... yeah but then I read something cool. It was about music and how passionate I was about it even then. God has been so faithful. He has grown me so much since I was 18 and thank goodness he isn't done yet. I loved going back and seeing the teachers who have helped shape and mold me. What wonderful people God has placed in my journey! Thank you teachers and coaches from Florida Christian. Thank you to all teachers for that matter. Your job is hard and over looked but oh-so vital in each and EVERY life. God has a special calling on your life thanks for being obedient and VERY VERY patient!
Peace
