"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Job Search

Well, I have been taking lots of phone calls and very busy trying to find a teaching job for the following school year. It has been exciting watching GOD unfold HIS plan............I am enjoying searching at the moment. I just don't want to miss HIS voice in all of it. HE has been speaking very loudly for say the past almost 20 or so months of my life............and right now, HE seems much more quiet than HE has been. Plus, I feel HE is giving me a little choice in it this time.

Two months ago I had inquired with 27 schools in the Denver area. As of today, I have heard from all of them but 7. That is pretty cool.

Since returning to the States, I have been on three interviews, and presently have 4 more applications to fill out. Oh, I have even been offered a job at one school. However, I felt I needed to turn it down. It is too far away from where I am living presently.....and even farther from where my condo is, when and if I move back into that after this next year. Plus, I must add the salary wasn't that great of an offer..........so considering that along with the distance and gas prices. I felt led by the Lord to say no. Plus, I have a few other possibilities in the works.

The thing about this whole process is having the Peace that I do at the moment. I know that GOD called me back home and spoke so loud and clear that particular day in Bali.............I can't doubt. I know that I will be teaching............I just don't know where yet. And I have to keep in mind, that I am looking at the situation considering the 'Present', but GOD also knows my 'Tomorrow'..............so all I can do is to keep taking the steps and TRUST HIM!!

But you all can still pray for me..............I'd really like to teach 3rd Grade, but I am actually open to being where the LORD would want me............that includes any grade as well. And remember, I did write that I have a feeling that at some point I will be working with youth again.........so, I can't rule out high school either.

GOD sure does know what HE is doing. Hope you are finding the Risen Christ in the moments of your days as well.
