Whew! It has been a whirlwind of events since I last posted! For quite a while I was just waiting to start subbing. I thought I had completed all the steps possible, but was just waiting to get a phone call. Finally I received a phone call one morning about subbing that led me to realize I had one more packet to fill out. After finishing that packet the same day, I was getting calls about subbing that afternoon and began my first day of subbing just two days later. God truly works in amazing ways. My goal for January was to start subbing and my first day was January 31st—such a blessing! Since then I have been able to sub a few days here and there and am hopefully getting my name out there for potential jobs. Subbing is definitely not the easiest of jobs, as you never know what you will be doing that day, don’t know the class rules and expectations, etc. BUT it is so good to be back in a classroom and have the opportunity to teach again. Just stepping foot inside an elementary school felt like home once again. I’m looking forward to getting more and more calls in the future.
I have also been working on applications for teaching positions next year. While usually I would be in a complete panic about finding a job, God has given me a great peace about the whole situation. I truly believe that He has a plan for me and that He will lead me to the job He has planned for me. There is no sense in worrying about whether or not I can get a job, when ultimately God has it all figured out already. All I can do is apply and prepare myself as best I can to be chosen for jobs, and leave the rest up to God.
Well, besides working and applying for jobs, I have been able to get away for a couple weekends to visit my friends back on campus. I made it up to watch the Superbowl with them, but let’s be honest the most fun of that evening was catching up and eating the insane amount of food we prepared. We were rooting for the Broncos, but clearly that was a let down.
I’ve also been keeping busy with some projects lately. I love when I have time and resources to do some crafting! I wanted to share pictures, but I lost the majority of my photos when my phone crashed. You would think that as many times as my phone has been messed up that I would learn to sync it more often--but no! Hopefully I will be able to take some more soon.
Enjoy your weekend, I know I am!
