The Big Day

I may sound like a nerd but I'm really excited about the first day of school.  The night before the first day, I'm always excited.  I've already packed my lunch and made sure my clothes are ironed. 

As the year starts, I pray that I will be able to be a light in my classroom, the hallways, and teachers' workroom.  I am very excited about this year.  I've been teaching 3rd grade starting my 9th year.  This year, I am only going to be teaching Science, Writing, and Social Studies.  I'm excited to see what God has in store and can't wait to get to know my students. 

I ask that you continue to pray as the year begins.  We are still waiting to see what God has in store for Steven.  He's applied to sub in Hallsville, as a parole officer, and is applying at Eastman.  We know God has a job in store.

God Hears Our Prayers

As I write today, I'm reminded how much God truly does hear our prayers.  Steven likes to listen to the sermans of his pastor from Florida.  This is a great way to start our day if we have an hour to listen.  Today, Steven left his office door open so I was able to listen as well to the serman. Man, does God hear our prayers.  The message today at the beginning spoke specifically to people who are searching for a job.  In fact, the pastor stopped his message and asked those searching for a job to stand.  He then prayed for this people that God would continue to be with them as they search, that God would open the right door for a job, and that they would be able to keep their heads high as they continue to search and trust God for the perfect job.  Wow, that was the perfect way to start the day as Steven continues to search and pray for where God would have him to be.
He had another interview in Marshall yesterday but they called and chose someone else for the job.  The job would have been for an aide position and would not have paid much (Steven would have also had to go to school full time to make enough money). Today he is going to been with a parole officer about a possible position.  We know without a doubt that God has the perfect job for Steven, but the waiting is not always easy.
Constantly praying and seeking His Kingdom!

Job Search Continues

It's been a while but we finally have internet at our house.  Steven is still looking for a job.  We konw that God provides and has the perfect job for him.  I ask that you please continue to pray for us during this time.  He's looking for jobs anywhere....not just in education since that is next to impossible in the state of Texas. 

We are praying Jeremiah 29:11 because we know God has a plan.
