2019: From my perspective

This year I have seen failure, celebrated success, restored broken relationships, gained a new and much needed perspective on life and through it all, I have learnt so much.

My perspective on life has been challenged. Challenged in a way that I have chosen not to invest my time in what I deem to be problematic (this hard, I tend to focus on what is not working and not what needs to be done about it). Instead choosing to find ways on what the solution is, how can it be fixed and who can help. 


In saying this, I am truly grateful for this year. God has been so good and I pray for His hand in everything that I do and that He will continue to use me. Taking on the role as Co-HOD of the English Department with my colleague, Ms Amber George, Dean of Year 10, Teaching - everything in between - I am grateful for the experiences I have had with these roles this year. I look forward to rest and to reset and recharge. 


It is an end of an era and going into a new decade, I look forward in closing this chapter. The last 10 years have been what I believe my 'foundation years'. I started working at Tamaki College at the beginning of the decade. I married my wife this decade. We had our first child this decade. I have experienced life changing heartache this decade. I have been fortunate enough to have traveled the world this decade. I have really found hope in my faith with God this decade.  I am excited in what is ahead and what I am going to learn. I pray for God's continuous covering and direction. Thank you God for an awesome 2019!
