I grew up going to church and being taught about Jesus by my mother and grandmother. It wasn’t until after I had children that I really “got it” and understood what it means to live and love like Jesus. Although I fail him every single day, I try to make sure He is at the forefront of my daily goals. I strive to see others the way Jesus sees them and love them in spite of our differences, and I see my classroom as a way to love others as they are. I don’t need to wear a name tag that says I am a Christian. My hope is that my students will see it in the way I treat them and love them. There’s a mission field right here on campus, and we can show our students and colleagues God by serving, supporting, and loving them.
