They like their jobs

Do you like your job? Not everybody does. I was at a car dealership this past month, and I was wondering if the person working there liked his job. It seemed to me that he didn’t. His demeanor, his manner of speaking—there was something about him that made me wonder: “Does he really want to be here?” Maybe he was just having a bad day. This summer, I’ve noticed that Lakeside teachers “like their jobs.” They like to be here—even though it is summer vacation! Many of them are modifying their teaching spaces, organizing things, getting materials ready for next school year—and they like what they are doing! And then there are teachers who are working with students as coaches, as advisors, as directors—and you can see that they are truly enjoying the experience.
Why? What makes the teachers like what they do? There are probably many reasons, but here is one: they find joy in fulfilling the mission of the school. Lakeside exists to “educate, encourage, and equip students for life and for eternity.” Our teachers know that they are part of something bigger, something greater: “I’m getting my classroom ready to encourage kids with the Word of God.” “The more prepared I am, the better I will be for those students who need that extra help.” To be a part of a ministry where the ultimate goal is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with every student—this is motivation for a teacher to “go to work” every day. Every teenager needs to hear that although they are sinful, God in his grace and mercy has taken their sins away! And not only that. Every teenager also needs to hear that this same gracious God is changing them more and more into a new person who is learning how to serve and glorify God. The teachers are the ones who convey this good news. They are “on a mission,” and that mission is to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them… and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19 This mission is why teachers at Lakeside like what they do, even to the point of coming to campus, even during the summer. May God bless them as they prepare for the school year ahead.
