My Mission Statement for Life

        Here is the entry. The entry I promised about what I was learning in my Bible Study class on Sunday mornings. Now that it is over. We went over the study called, "The Significant Woman" and it was so much to think about. One thing we did was made a mission statement for our lives to leave by so we would know what to do and what not to do. We learn and took who we are and put it into  a statement that we could go by for some of our life. Mine I think I can do all my life no matter where I am as along as I have a job with children but mine can mean a lot of different ways with children.

        Here is my mission statement: To nurture and embrace the defenseless, by introducing them to their true and trusted Safe Haven.

         I came up with that statement with a little bit of help because of the job I am working now but I've been thinking about it a lot. It could mean I could help out the defenseless in my ways and all the children that a defenseless. Right now, I'm working with abused children that don't have homes and will go into foster care and I love it. In a way, I could have done that in my preschool teaching job too. I'm also thinking of another way that I could do it and this one as been on my heart since I took a class in college. More so now that I see it a lot where I work. You don't know how many children need help until you see them.
         I always had a thing for Autism and sensory processing disabilities or any disabilities a child might have. I'm thinking about spiecal education or some kind of therapy. I would be embracing them when no one else will. I would be nurturing and teaching them how to do things for the first time or even better. I think I always had a thing for special education because I was in it when I was young for two main things. Those two main things were: my speech and my math skills. There might be some anxiety in there every once in awhile. I know what it feels like to have an IEP or to be pulled out of class. I never was pulled out of class expect for speech but I do have spiecal things done for me like less math problems and some tutoring after school.
         Also, I just love the thought of sensory processing. It is so strange how children will act a certain way because they don't know how to control a certain part of their body. I would also love Behavioral therapy because there are so many cool ways you could do it and again just the child's mind and body. To me, it is seeing how God made us special and complex from all the other animals. If we need one thing or the other to be "normal", it is amazing but yet God made us that way for a reason.
          Just some thoughts on where my life might be going in the next few years and what I am learning about myself. Another reason I love all the above reasons. You learn about the child and yourself at the same time. They can teach you things that you never thought possible.
