Share about your relationship with Christ
Jesus has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. I attended Central from preschool through twelfth grade and right out of college I circled back and applied for a job at my alma mater. I began teaching in 2016 and never would have pictured my life where it is today. Jesus has shown me to never say never and always trust in his plan. I was never going to stay close to home and now I live 7 miles from Prinsburg. I was never going to marry a farmer, and we are going on 8+ years of marriage. I didn't really love kids growing up (I was the youngest sibling and cousin), and now I work daily with kids and am a mother of four. I didn't really enjoy math throughout school because it was difficult and required a lot of work, and now I am a Middle School math teacher. I am so thankful that Jesus decided to intervene into my great plan and guide me to where I am today. God is good all the time and trusting in his plan fills my life with joy!
