Last night Jeff and I went to an open house for a group called Boone County Empowerment. This organization heads up a number of social service agencies that serve the infant/preschool children and their families in our county. Jeff, being clergy in our community, is on their board of directors. When I am exposed to anything in the field of Early Childhood, it always brings back the desire to work with young children. Our visit to the open house did just that.
I am currently not working with kids in any capacity except for in the nursery at church (which isn’t even close to teaching!). I know that right now I am doing just exactly what God wants me to be doing job-wise: church secretary and at the grocery store. I also know that the longer I am out of the field the harder it will be for me to get a job and finding a decent paying job in the early childhood field is not easy to do!
I do believe that some day I will be back working in education in some way. Right now am I struggling with issues like do I continue to pay for an expensive membership in a teaching organization when I’m not teaching even though I do read the journal and books that come with the membership? And how will I know when the right time is to begin working with kids again? I can’t really go by emotion or feelings and I certainly don’t want to leave it to chance. I try to take it day-by-day and trust that God will make His perfect plan for my life known.
