You know those moments when God doesn't let you have something and he won't let you know right away his reason for it?
Back in 2013, I had to applied to intern at a school in Germany. I expected to at least get a response back, but instead, there was nothing. I really wanted to intern at that school. But for some reason, I wasn't upset or disappointed at all. Instead, I heard God's voice of peace. I could feel he was telling me it wasn't the right place for me at all, and to not worry whatsoever.
A week later, I got accepted to intern at a Christian Montessori, and it honestly turned out to be one of the best intern experiences I had. Actually, almost all of my student teaching experiences have been amazing. I have always been blessed with wonderful, effective, and warm master teachers.
Yesterday, when I was reading the historical overview of education as part of my class readings, I finally understood why God did not let me intern at that school I never heard back from. The philosophy and spiritual underpinnings of that school's curricular model would be just about the last thing I needed, and it would not have helped me become a better teacher. I almost cried while I was reading that chapter because it was when I realized that God never takes his eyes off you for one second. He always knows what he is doing.
It was just like the time I got put on the waitlist for Vanderbilt. When I got that waitlist letter, I felt a wave of peace over me. He told me I would be getting in, but he didn't tell me how or why or when. He just let me know to never be worried.
Every time I see God's power and plan, I am just amazed. When I was born, he told my dad that he would always take care of me. And that has always been true in my life.
