Elementary Ephiphany

The past few years I had been struggling with not being good enough when it came to job promotions. I had over 15 years experience and being passed over by others who had no experience was like being shot in the heart! Even when it came to applying for jobs where I knew the panel and had worked closely with them and bent over back for them...I began to judge my own capabilities and wondered what the plan really was for me!

Two years ago God showed me He knew best.  I had put in for a transfer to an Elementary school but for some reason I didn't feel right about it and basically broke down emotionally in the backyard and I revoked my transfer.  At the time I had no idea that it would allow me to spend almost every weekend with my best friend and be able to be where I needed to be and not worry about learning a new job.  I will be forever thankful to the Lord for giving me that time and seeing His hand in my relationship with not only Jami but with Jonna and Kiki too!

I told my dad Friday night that this new job has truly opened my eyes to the power of God!  If you would have ever told me I would work in an elementary school I would have laughed!  Me? Work with the littles? NO WAY!  I am a colleg/career planner with a knack of finding scholarships and opportunities for all!  I am a prom planner, graduation guru and credit queen! Playground duty? Crying over not sharing? What?!? Not me!

Well, experiencing my new job the past month, I would say that after 20 years of high school memories, I am ready to make my next 20 years making elementary memories! The joy, love and hugs that I get everyday fills my heart! The littles that are sad? Yep! I have words and love for them! The littles that are mad?  Yep, I have cooling off and descalation tips for them too!  Staff?!? They are amazing too!  Can you tell I am happy? Dare I say fulfilled?  Only time will tell but for now I am contented being in the Orchard and I know that no matter what He has planned for me, He is in charge and He will make this journey perfect for me!
Psalm 18:30
