Hmm.. what can I say.. March truly is coming in hardcore and with a vengeance… but a really good vengeance..=)
Today my principal asked me if I could teach after school because there is a surplus of 4th graders and she has extra money in the budget. Originally I was denied the job…and it was a bit disappointing at first, because I was counting (unrealistically) on using that money to help me try to pay for the whole trip on my own (stubborn.. one of the cons of my independent nature), but I look back and see I was rejected for a wonderful reason. And for a wonderful lesson.
Being rejected FORCED me to ask others for help with financial support. I HATE asking for things, because I never want to be a bother, and it was so hard to ask for support for the race at first. But now God has showed me that this is such a wonderful opportunity to partner with others who want to be a part of this movement of God’s love, to the world. And it is so encouraging to know that so many of us are embarking on this journey together!!!!! It is way more wonderful than me trying to do this on my own! And I wouldn’t want to, and still can’t, do it without your support!!!!!!! So, rejection…Thank You!
Once I accepted the reality of not getting the second job, and was at complete peace about it… WHAM! God is like “Here ya go!” And not only did He open up the door for me to have the job.. but I get 6 hours a week with JAMES! (if you have no idea who James is..read my James blog). I get to have one of the biggest “pains” for 6 hours a week???!! WOHOOO! I can’t wait!!! God is just such a faithful Dad… always so patient and never gets annoyed with reminding me that if I continue to put Him first, and rest in Him being sovereign, He will work it all out and meet every desire in my heart…. *tear*… Life with Him leading is just amazing!!!!…and so humbling…
“Now why is March such a beast?”, you may ask… well on top of the after school job (which I start next week), I have 25 pages of my thesis left to write (which is due March 30th so that I can graduate in June), and I need to sell furniture, pack and paint my apartment for my moving date of March 27th. AHHHH! So basically I have about 3 weeks to get all this done… but I will. I know I will…because I have your prayers, and God’s strength.
April..I am excited to see what you have to offer….(hopefully it includes some rest =)
