I guess I never really know what it going to happen week to week or day to day. Last week Brenton and I were preparing to sell the house, move, find different jobs, and make other life changes. Today things are different. I haven't written about this, but I was planning on taking a teaching job for next year. It seemed like a guaranteed thing. Then on Saturday I received news that I didn't get the position. I was completely shocked and broken hearted about it. Brenton also received news about not getting a job position that he applied for and it too seemed like an almost for sure thing. It's so difficult to see the big picture of God's plan in our life. It humbles me greatly to know that I am not in ultimate control and that what I want, plan and desire, just might not be what God wants, plans and desires for me. So again, I feel like I am in a waiting place. Not quite sure whats coming or when it's coming. A place where I need to live in and be content with what I have and who I am. I am working hard at finding the gift of every situation. The highs, the lows and the good and the bad- life goes on with all of these, and I am clinging on tight to the one that will carry me through it all- Jesus Christ.
***Thought you should know, The Rachael Ray show called me back today and got my story... He's going to pass it on the producers and if they like it they will call me back. I will let you know if anything comes of it!***
Steph, I'm sorry things didn't go the way you thought they would (on a very selfish level I'm glad you are not moving away...at least not yet.)
ReplyDeleteI'm soooo excited that the guy from the Rachel Ray show called you back. I can't believe that you might get to meet her. I'm waiting on pins and needles to hear more about this!
Steph,
ReplyDeleteHave you posted, and I just missed it, what you might be on the RR Show for? I am curious.
Tiffany, I got a call from them. You can read the "disappointed" entry below. They just called to ask me about an email I sent them. I am hoping to get on, but I am sure they talk to A LOT of people, so the chances are slim!
ReplyDeleteI emailed them about feeling like I was a bad stay at home mom.
ReplyDeleteStephanie,
ReplyDeleteI'm only bummed for you if those jobs were in Reston (just kidding=)I know it's hard when you're in that "waiting place"). Did I hear it was 30 degrees there today?
