God Blessed my Mistake

By Momi Robins-Makaila

Some parents (when they read this) will think I was the worst teacher ever. They will curse the possibility of having a teacher like me for their child. Some parents will understand. They will realize that we all fall short of the glory of God, and they will be empathetic. Those who do will embrace the idea of having someone like me as their child's teacher, maybe.

When I admitted, then apologized to all of my student's parents for what I did, they forgave me.  God placed a forgiving spirit in their hearts—in each and every time. But still, the trajectory of my life changed its course. Immediately after the incident happened, I became terrified because I faced real change ahead of me. Of that, I was certain. But God showed up, showed off, and blessed my mistake.

God Blessed My Mistake—Preface

Some parents (when they read this) will think I was the worst teacher ever. They will curse the possibility of having a teacher like me for their child. Some parents will understand. They will realize that we all fall short of the glory of God, and they will be empathetic. Those who do will embrace the idea of having someone like me as their child's teacher, maybe.

When I admitted, then apologized to all of my student's parents for what I did, they forgave me.  God placed a forgiving spirit in their hearts—in each and every time. But still, the trajectory of my life changed its course. Immediately after the incident happened, I became terrified because I faced real change ahead of me. Of that, I was certain. But God showed up, showed off, and blessed my mistake.

I write this for two main reasons: First, so I can go back anytime I need and read about how much God pursues me relentlessly. There will be times when I
