Michaela worked in an inner-city high school, teaching biology to kids who didn’t seem interested. The hours were long and the parents were uninvolved. Michaela found herself discontented, burning out, and on her knees, desperately begging God for a change. Anywhere but here, Lord. Send me somewhere I can make a difference!
Over and over again, she prayed for a job in one of the magnet schools nearby, where kids had hope for a future. She wanted to impact the lives of kids, and those kids wanted to be impacted. But the doors stayed firmly shut. She felt trapped in a job she disliked but couldn’t seem to leave. Depression settled heavily on her heart. One day, as she began to pray, she felt a strong sense that the Lord wanted her to stop talking and listen. And what she felt she heard took her breath away.
Child, I HAVE sent you somewhere you can make a difference. I put you there for a reason. Stay where you are. And bring Me into your school.
