...working...

We have finally wrapped up VBS and M-Fuge: Birmingham! What an amazing and tiring two weeks! Maybe I'll post some pictures or more details later, but for now, my reflections on working for the Lord are short:
1. I taught kindergarten VBS. I need way more patience to teach kindergartners. If it weren't for Katie (a new first grade teacher, yay!), I would have lost my mind.
2. My social track at M-Fuge went door-to-door doing surveys. It was hot.
3. It's amazing to me how God has given me such a love for the people at Persia so quickly. Especially the youth group... this is so much better than I could have ever hoped! I LOVE LOVE LOVE working with them! :)


On to working in the secular world... it won't be happening in my own classroom this year. :(

Because Kentucky's licensing process contains one year of internship, I do not have a full valid license to transfer to another state. Therefore, I must take TWO ADDITIONAL Praxis tests! Hello, money. Of course I found out about this after I can get test results in to be certified for the fall semester. So, I'll be taking the tests in September. Maybe a job will open up in the second semester.

I'm currently looking for a teacher's aide job. If that doesn't work out, I'll be subbing. Either way, I know that God is in control. His will is going to be done. Regardless of whether or not I understand exactly what that looks like or why it has to happen that way.

Pray for me, please!

Yay!! I get chills when I read how much you're loving your new home! I was just talking about you yesterday! :)

That stinks about all the certification technicalities! But it looks like you've got some other options! I'll be praying for other job opportunities for you and that the PRAXIS exams are cake!! :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!
