June 2024 Newsletter - Feeling a Little Restless, Maybe? For those of us working in the Ministry of Education, we are entering the open posting season. Some of us may be thinking about new opportunities - a new school, HQ posting, or even a hiatus. We may wonder if the grass is greener elsewhere. It's an exciting time, but it can also bring about a feeling of restlessness. Of course, this feeling of restlessness may affect you even if you are not a teacher. I'm only speaking from experience. At one point many years ago, I got caught up in the idea of starting a side hustle with a multi-level marketing company. The promise of passive income and more freedom was tempting, but it made me feel restless and discontent with my teaching job. In my latest blog post, I explore this feeling of restlessness and how it can distract us from our true calling. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7, I share insights on how to find contentment and bloom where we're planted. If you're feeling a bit unsettled or just curious about how to stay grounded during a season of change, I think you'll find the post helpful.
