I wanted to share that I was blessed with my own classroom in the fall at Alvin High School. When I tell you that this is a tailor-made position...it is! My desire was to work in this very district, I will be teaching my first love, and I'll be able to gain experience before enrolling in school again...just decided about that but that's a posting for another day....

Initially, I worked on the online application for over an hour months prior and with the stroke of the wrong key, I lost everything. Disgusted I told myself I was NOT going to start over again...walked away from it and everything...cried because I was so frustrated, vented to my mother the whole nine! But, as it was meant, I visited the site again and saw that the SAME position was open three months later, so I dug my heels in and started all over again. Once again I pressed the wrong button (that Enter key, I tell you!) and lost my information, but I was determined this time. I completed the application in about 45 minutes and within a week I received my call for an interview. I had been speaking that I was going to have a classroom in the fall ('for the power of life and death lies in the tongue) so I keyed the number in my phone and saved it..believing I'd get the call, which came while I was in court...and that's another story, lol!

So it was set, the interview would be that Monday....and I was ready. I had my Educational Philosophy, Resume, and Classroom Management statement in hand and ready...for the second time in my life I was interviewed by a panel for 30-40 minutes...Whew...To make an already long story short, I was offered the position within a week and a half....I said all that to say....

Be encouraged no matter where you are or what you are waiting for. Speak what you are believing God for...speaking it out helps to keep you focused (that is what it did for me). God is faithful and if He has something for you then it's yours no matter what. Do your part and wait with a heart of expectancy and thanksgiving because you already know that He is going to do His part. God gotchu! (Excuse the slang). It is too soon to give in. The manifestation of what is in store for your AMAZING future is just around the corner. We just have to remember that His timing is not our timing. Dig your heels in and stand strong...Think about a palm tree....it is so flexible and strong that it can withstand high winds. During a storm, it bends every which way...but it DOES NOT break. So go 'head with your bad self (okay I couldn't use too much slang, but would have said go 'head wit yo bad sef) and be the best that you can be because that is all He expects from you....Do not be so hard on yourself, leave room for error, growth, and change....You are phenomenal and you're cut out for this very moment. ~Blessings
