I became a Lutheran school teacher because I have a great love for the Lord and wanted others to know and love Him, too. I, myself, went to a Lutheran grade school and my parents, along with my teachers, instilled in me a love for the Lord that I wanted to help instill in others. Jesus gives me purpose because of His suffering and dying for me for the forgiveness of my sins and then rising again to give me eternal life. I pray that my students will realize this and that their faith grows and that they, too, will want to live their life for God and show His love to others through their words and actions.
