July 1, 2026 - Still Being Written

I haven’t always had full faith in God’s timing, but in recent years, I feel I’ve been able to peacefully embrace and trust the process a lot more. Sometimes a closed door may feel like the story is over, but in reality, many times that door may be God’s way of preparing us for a better chapter.

Almost two years ago, I walked away from a position I loved. It was not an easy decision, and at the time, I couldn’t see what God was doing behind the scenes. There were moments of disappointment, uncertainty, a lot of sadness, and wondering what the future would hold. On some of the most difficult days, I tried to hold on to my faith and remember that God’s timing is always better than my own.

Looking back, I can see that what once felt like an ending was really just another one of those pauses that I sometimes find rather annoying. But hey… it’s only onward from this point!

This season has been a great reminder to me that faith isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about trusting that even when we have no idea what lies ahead, the true plan is already laid out. Sometimes the waiting, the growing, and even the lull bring us right back to where we were meant to be… with a renewed heart, a fresh perspective, and an even deeper appreciation for the journey and the time away.

I couldn’t be more grateful for the possibilities ahead… both new and familiar.

Being “Mrs. Keppler” has always been one of my favorite roles. It’s more than a job title. It’s a chance to make students feel seen and welcome, support teachers, welcome families, and be even a small part of a community that means the world to me.

So, for those who have been asking, there are some exciting possibilities on the horizon… and I am waiting with gratitude and hope as things continue to unfold. And I’m incredibly grateful that God wasn’t finished writing this chapter.

Here’s to new beginnings, familiar faces, and the incredible beauty of a very real full-circle moment.

Go Warriors! ❤️
