What happens come Fall?

So, this morning I had an interview with a preschool I worked in over 10 years ago. It went really well. I'm pleased with the interview, the people who "still" work there and the way the school is run. I'm at peace with the morning's outcome. I desperately wanted things to work out for me to remain at Shady Lane with the classroom and teachers I know so well, but it seems as if maybe God has other plans. The hours I have are not conducive to the needs at Shady Lane and I understand that they must fill the needs of the schedule there. It saddens me to think that I may not be going back, but it excites me to know that God has a plan that I am not aware of.



I am having surgery August 4th to have a fibroid tumor removed from my uterus. It is about the size of a softball and from what I have been learning lately, has caused my lack of energy, fatigue, pain and discomfort, and frequent trips to the bathroom! My doctor informed me that it is as if I am walking around 3 months pregnant all the time! Glad to be getting rid of it. I am going to require 4-6 weeks recovery time so I will not be working the remainder of the summer after my boys and their family move to California. My goal is to find a new job beginning September 1-15, depending on how I'm feeling. I have already been blessed to have been offered a part-time/after school nanny position for 2 of the most wonderfully amazingly sweet little girls. I couldn't have asked for a better family to work for. My dilemma is that it's not enough hours to only work that job and so I need to find a daytime position, as well. That's where I was hoping Shady Lane would come in. But alas, God may be moving elsewhere.



This week I had to take Connor to chess camp which happens to meet in the old preschool I mentioned earlier. Upon dropping him off, I ran into the director of the center and we talked about what had been going on and what I was up to and when she heard that I would be looking, she invited me to fill out an application and then immediately set up an interview with her partner for today. They are very excited about the possibility of having me return to work in the 3 day 3's class M-W-F and the 2 Day 2's class T- TH. It would be 30 hours a week, exactly the hours I'm looking for and would include medical benefits at those hours (instead of the 40 Shady Lane would have required). They would want me to start September 2 so that I can meet the parents and children, and they are most likely willing to match my current salary from SL, which for preschool, is pretty darn good! So, as I left the Center this morning, I had this sense of peace that what God has already planned for my life was unfolding right in front of me and that trusting Him was the best and only thing I can do for the fall.



Isn't He good and faithful to care for us and provide for us and guide us as He has promised!



What happens come Fall? Only time will tell. God has it all worked out and I am waiting on Him to lead me!



Happy 4Th of July!
