Summary

SummaryI’m Val Widmer, and in 2017 I felt God calling me to move from teaching seventh grade to eighth grade special educationβ€”a change I resisted because I was comfortable πŸ˜…. That year became the hardest of my career when a student was tragically shot. God used that heartbreak to open my eyes to the need for caring counselors. I went back to school for a counseling degree, faced repeated doors closing, and nearly gave up. But at a Fusion Camp prayer time, after sharing my story with the kids, my principal called me mid–slip-n-slide and offered me the school counselor position without an interview 😭. Since August, I’ve met over 450 students, reminding each one, β€œYou matter” ❀️. God’s perfect timing transformed my pain into purpose.
