Since I've been home things have been really nice. I really enjoy being able to sleep in my own bed, cook in the kitchen, eat real food and chill with my family and friends. I've also had the opportunity to babysit and sub; both things I really enjoy and I'd like to do more of the later.
On top of everything else, I've also been looking for another church. It's not really something I thought I would be doing when I got home from school, but I believe that it's time for me to make a change. While things haven't been the easiest in that area, I'm trusting that God has the right place for me and I just have to be patient. God knows how hard patience is for me, so this is going to be an interesting journey. :)
I have been blessed though by my friends and family and last night I was able to go to a show, which I didn't have to pay for it was a show that I wanted to see. While I was there, I saw someone I knew and they asked me what I was doing now that I was home. I mentioned looking for a job and taking sub jobs when they come and then someone I don't really know asked me what my degree was in.
After I said Early Childhood, she asked how much more education I'd need to expand that to 6th grade. I told her I wasn't really sure, but that I didn't want to expand to 6th grade. Then she told me that I'm limiting myself with my degree and I should really look into expanding up to 6th grade.
I know that things might be tough for a while, but I'm confident that I'll find a job in my field...that and I'm pretty sure if I was called to teach up to 6th grade, I would have gone for that degree. It's just frustrating to hear a fellow teacher say something like that. Not very encouraging on her part, good thing I'm not looking to people like that for encouragement. :)
Mother Teresa said it best, "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much."
