Whoosh!!!...there goes June!

That's what it feels like so far, and I'm not complaining. I shouldn't be so time-obsessed, but I'm sure there are many things which God still wants to perfect in me, so add it to the list and keep praying that God will do a great work in me.

This morning, I'm up early to go for a job interview at a university near my home. It sounds like a good opportunity in many ways, but won't pay as much, and it's only part time, so if you don't work you don't get paid. That's a problem here since universities take July and August off, as well as 6 weeks in the winter. However, it's a good chance for me to get to know the system and perhaps have influence in the university community. I'll go to the interview, see what they have to offer, and pray that God will give me wisdom to do what He wants.

The other options are for me to continue on here at my current job through next March as I had been planning, or to try to get a job in a government elementary school. For the pay and number of teaching hours, as well as the paid vacation time, the government elementary school is definitely the way to go. The government recently changed the laws so that I am now qualified to teach in these schools, so I feel it's something I need to consider at least.

Always on my mind is the countdown to when I get to see some of you, just 2 and a half weeks til I fly to San Francisco, and I'm excited. I am past the point of seeing things in terms of weeks or even days here, and have been plodding along the last few days trying to make it through one class at a time, so you can tell my brain (and body) needs a break. The constant barrage of "Teachuh, teachuh, teachuh!" is a sound I am totally over. It reminds me of being in charge of a group of people in ministry and hearing my name over and over, until all I wanted was to change my name. I guess leadership comes with that price to pay, everyone wanting to get your attention and ask you a question. Sometimes I want to retire from my personality, and right now, that's what I want with regards to being the "teachuh!"

It's time for me to bolt out of here for my interview, so this will be short. I just really wanted to check in, say "Happy June" to everyone, and ask once again for prayer support as I make some tough decisions about my future in the next few days, while juggling my day to day responsibilities as a teacher. I also need to be motivated to get my ministry position filled while I'm gone for six Sundays traveling. This has proven to be a challenge in a time when I don't really want another challenge.

Thanks for praying. Let me know how I can pray for you.
Until next time, LC from crazy TW
