These past 24 hours have been a whirlwind of emotion. I was offered a position at another school in the district.
I have seen God move in this situation. I had several colleagues immediately tell me that I would be so great for the kids. They almost said the exact same words to communicate that to me. Even though I am doubting certain aspects of my ability (which another friend tells me is Satan whispering in my ear), One friend even offered to tutor me in math since I have been in the PreK world for so long.
What I do now is good. I do good works for him in my class and school. It is comfortable.
The Holy Spirit has been busy. One sweet friend reminded me of some of the things I had written in the blog. That was the Holy Spirit at work.
Peter denied Christ 3 times. I had turned down 3 job interviews. I am reading John 18. Am I denying him by not trusting in him? Listen to this...
Last week, after saying out loud that I would go on the next interview if he ever sent me one, I got that email at nearly the exact moment about this position and interview.
They offered me the job without even meeting me based on my reputation with the district, autism community and at Columbia College. Even after I had spent the entire phone interview trying to convince them that I wasn't' qualified.
Holy. Spirit.
I feel nervous, afraid and uncomfortable.
What I know is that God will provide what I need. Going from 3 year olds to middle school will be a huge adjustment. I am certain that I will see where God wants me when I go and observe today. I will need to let them know by Friday.
I appreciate your prayers and words of encouragement. This really is a minor problem in the grand scheme of life. I know God worked in my life through Abby and brought me this job helping students and parents during what was a difficult time in my life. My experience has helped many parents.
I just can't wait to see how he is going to use me through this new opportunity.
