Faith Christian Academy offered a 3K program when our son was of age so we enrolled thinking we would stay through kindergarten. God had much greater plans for our family! When he entered kindergarten, the teacher was retiring, and I happily stepped in. The Lord showed me very quickly the wonderful difference in teaching at a Christian school vs. public where I had been. My personal walk with the Lord and my love for teaching kids to read (so they can read the Bible) has flourished in this Christ-centered school. Almost nine years later, our family is still here witnessing His goodness surrounded by a FAITH family.
Testimony
2004 Christmas was the day I was given a King James Bible from someone close to me at that time. I began reading in the New Testament every day, and it was then I came to realize who Jesus is, and what he did for me.
On January 22, 2005, while reading my Bible, I began praying, asking God to forgive my sin and to please take the lead in my life. I prayed for Jesus to help me let go of what I was trying to do myself and direct me in the path he wanted me to walk. Three months later I met my husband, Justin Nelson. By God’s divine appointing, my father-in-law was leading a study for new Christians at Immanuel Baptist Church! Not only had Jesus guarded my path, as He continues to do, but he provided just the right people at just the right time to encourage and strengthen my walk with Him.
Justin and I were married on July 1, 2006, and Jesus Christ continues to be the focus in our family as Justin, and I raise our two children. Twenty years later, the Lord is still teaching and pruning me as I lean into Him. To God be the glory always and forever.
