I have really struggled over the past two years about when the "right" time is for me to look for a teaching job. While I miss teaching, I enjoy working at the store and at church I get to be involved in daily ministry, not just listen to Jeff tell me what is going on. I'll also admit that there has been a bit of fear to even try teaching. What if I can't handle working full time? What if I'm not ready? What if I get turned down again for a job? I know that my gifts, talents, and interests are not in the church office, but I do like the safety of staying there.
About a month ago, Jeff and I were talking about our dream jobs. I shared that mine would be to have my own preschool specifically for lower income or at risk kids. I told him that someday I hoped to realize this dream, but I that I am very content (or comfortable) where I was. I wasn't going to go looking. If God wanted me to be in a classroom, he would have to make it very obvious to me.
A week and a half ago, I received a phone call from a county agency here in town that is working with a small church daycare to hire a director. They asked if I would be interested in talking to them about the job. To make a long story short, I have an interview on Wednesday afternoon. The funny thing is that it's like God just plopped it in my lap. And it is a daycare that caters to the low income people in our community. Boy, is it funny how God works! I'd appreciate your prayers this week.
