How did God lead you to MCA?

Before coming to MCA, I worked at Lydia Learn and Care Preschool for almost 10 years.  I really enjoyed working at the preschool, but felt that I was ready for a new adventure and had the desire to teach older children.  My desire was to teach kindergarten at a Christian school.  While I was at Lydia, there was a huge need for a teacher.  Jenna (Longenecker) Scifo came to rescue and was a very reliable substitute for the preschool during the summer of 2002.  I learned that she had just finished school at Trinity International University with a degree in teaching.  I was also going to school at this time and would be ready to transfer to TIU soon to obtain my teaching degree.  A couple of years later, Jenna was a substitute for the preschool again.  This time, she was marred and had a 2 year old daughter.  It was at that time that I was able to borrow her portfolio to get an idea of how to make my own portfolio.  We kept in contact because of this portfolio and I graduated from Trinity in May of 2007.  She knew my desire to teach kindergarten and informed me that there was a kindergarten position open at MCA (where she had been working as well).  After a short period of time, I had an interview with Mr. Lee.  I asked the Lord where He wanted me to teach and He answered my prayer to teach kindergarten in a Christian school.  The Lord led me to accept the position of Sr. Kindergarten at MCA.

Personal/Other

I am glad the Lord is using me at MCA.  It is just amazing of how the Lord puts people in our lives to show us and direct us to where He wants us to be.  I would have never imagined that one day I would be teaching at the same school Jenna Scifo taught at AND that I would be teaching her daughter in my class!
