Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I have written a blog. But the time has come where I want to update 'yall' on my life. And… ask for prayers.
Many of my plans I had coming back from the world race have been modified or changed slightly. Coming off of the race, I knew that I wanted to be a potter in Africa (thinking that I would go more immediately).
I want to be an artist, and I want teach others the trade of ceramics. I want them to learn how to be self-sustained and not rely on others to provide. Thinking through this vision, I realized that I don't know how to be self-sufficient myself. I realized I haven't practiced the trade of ceramics in over a year and a half. I realized I had no idea where to even start. As I began to Google my life career, I realized it was going to cost a lot of money and I basically have no money.
So that is where I started… I knew I needed a full-time 'real' job. Looking at my strengths and past education – I decided teaching was the best option for me to pursue at this current time.
This past Wednesday night, I turned in my CERRA application. This was step one on my do-to list. This application works for all school districts all over the entire state of South Carolina. Which is very helpful so that I do not have to fill out multiple applications.
Now I haven't been in the public classroom for quite a while, so I want to get some experience in the classroom before the 2013-2014 school year rolls around. That same Wednesday night, I decided to email my elementary art teacher and my high school art teachers to see if I could come a job shadow some of their classes this semester.
And the very next day…
My elementary art teacher emails me back saying, "…there is a part time opening NOW at Lexington Elementary School!!!! if your certification is in place, call the principal NOW!…" It has been less than 12 hours since I have turned my application in… What? That is crazy!… Ummm God is this you directing my paths cause I believe it is. Needless to say, I called the principal and let him know that I am interested in this position. Once my three references have come through to him, I will hopefully have an interview sometime next week. And the job would start immediately. Now there are other people applying and I am waiting for my references to come through. But God works in mysterious ways, and His timing is always perfect.
This would be an incredible experience and I know this is all apart of God's provision whether I actually get the job or not. I am excited about this opportunity and I will let you know how it all goes. Please remember me in prayer this week, as I could possibly have an interview.
Thanks sooo much for all your prayers and support.
