While I was getting ready for work this morning, my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number, so I let it go to voice mail. While Paul was driving me to work, I checked my message. It was the principal of the smaller school district I mentioned in yesterday's post. She said she was scheduling interviews for Monday. I was a little early to work, so I had plenty of time before seeing my first client. I called her as soon as I got my coffee started. My interview is at 10:00 Monday morning. I'll see my client, then leave for my interview. I'm really pretty excited about it.
But I'm still praying. Scheduling an interview doesn't mean I'll get the job. Honestly, I hope I get it. It would only be about half an hour from my house. I think such a small district would give me a great start to my career in education. But that doesn't mean it's God's plan. I only really want the job that God wants me to have. If this is it, great! If not, He will help me overcome my disappointment and guide me to the right job at the right time.
Like most schools in the area, teachers start work for the school year Thursday, 8/14/14. Since my interview is Monday, I'm sure they will be making a decision shortly thereafter. It amazes me that I may interview for a job and start work the same week. The only times that has happened, I already had the job when I applied.
If you're reading this post before my interview, please say a prayer for me. I'll let ya know what happens next week.
I started this blog to share my journey following God into graduate school and a new career in education. If you struggle with listening to and following God, join the club. Maybe something I go through can help you, too. At the very least, you'll know you aren't alone. If you're interested in the thoughts and ramblings of a future middle school teacher, you are in the right place! Oh, by the way, you never know about me; I might blog about nearly anything. Feel free to leave comments!
