So I guess I’d better explain yesterday’s post.

I’ve been offered an administrative position at my school, one that would take me out of the classroom and away from technology and place me smack-dab in the middle of student life (student leadership, spiritual life, and day-to-day discipline issues). There was a similar position a few years ago, but it’s mostly a brand new gig … and I’ve chosen to accept it!

It’s actually kinda cool … I wasn’t pursuing or even considering this sort of thing, but the leadership at my school saw where my heart was and matched it up with our school’s needs. And I’ve known for a couple of years that God was preparing me for something like this, something with more leadership and leverage and influence … so it’s really affirming to see it become a reality.

So, starting August first, I’ll be diving in headfirst. It’ll have its uphill battles, that’s for sure … I’m quite young for something like this, I’ll be dealing a lot more with complex family issues, and seriously … I’ll be doling out discipline to 400 middle schoolers? But once the details start to materialize, this job should provide a lot more freedom, quite a few challenges, and the chance to actually focus on what I’m really there for … connecting with and building into young lives.

Bring that!
