One person employed for next school year!!

Well, things are starting to move around here! What a walk in faith this has been and I hope to sometime share the story here. (but it will take a lot of thought and time which I don't have right now)

I accepted a Kindergarten teaching position at the first school of my choice which is a private Catholic K-8 school right in the town where I live.

I am not sad to be leaving the headache that NCLB (No Child Left Behind) has brought to public school teachers. To teach in an environment where faith is a part of everything will be amazing!

My husband has some good leads on administrative positions in our area and a couple of leads out of our area. (which would mean we'd be living in different towns for a year) I have faith that it will all work out and we will not have to live apart.

It does look like we will have to live off of our savings for the month of July and the cost for us to continue our must-have health insurance under COBRA law is NUTS! (nearly $1500 a month cash) However, I am thankful we are prepared for at least one month and I have faith that that is all we will need.

So....Yeah! Praise God that I have not only a teaching job....but at the school that was first on my "wish list"!!! (most of the teachers at this school have been there for more than a decade...some longer than that...so openings are not always easy to come by) How grateful I am and thank God for His blessing!

By the second week in July I should have good news to share regarding my husbands job situation.

God bless and grace and peace be with you!
