Faith and Hope – Kelley Martin

“Now abide these three, faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13. My faith in God is grounded in the security of His love for me and for all. Because of this faith and love, I have hope that even when things are the most bleak and I don’t understand why injustice exists or why seemingly bad things happen to good people that there is still hope to see wrongs righted. I may be an idealist, but I am not naive. My faith and belief in a God that is wise; too wise to be mistaken; a God that is too good to be unkind; and that when I don’t understand, when I don’t see His plan, when I can’t trace His hand, I can trust His heart (lyrics to Trust His Heart by Babbie Mason). This faith and hope I know will help to see me through the tough days of the everyday teaching; the injustices and unfairness of a system that fails too many of our children; and will give me the strength to take action that will help level the playing field of education. Not by my own strength, but in joining with others who want to make the field level and see all children have the chance to succeed.
