Faith

"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.  But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.  That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;  he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does." James 1:5-8

 

Well, I haven't updated on the job search lately but let me tell you, there have been some changes! 2 weeks ago I got a call from Windsor Elementary asking me to come in for an interview. I was so excited about this interview! There were 10 interviews and she was going to call 5 back for second interviews. The day after my interview I got a call for a second! I was soo soo excited! This interview was a little different than most. I had to prepare a 15-20 minute mini lesson on reading/writing for an imaginary kindergarten class.

 

So, with the help of some awesome teacher friends, I got my lesson all set up! I knew it was going to have to be over the top if I wanted to stand out, and it was! I had the kids singing, dancing, writing, reading, etc! It went so well! However, I was a little discouraged because right before my interview a lady walked into the office and said are you here for an interview? I said yes. She said oh ok I'm looking for Misty. I said Misty who? She goes, oh that was my aide from last year, she must be in her interveiw now. My heart sunk. I quickly went form believing I had to job, to being so discouraged that I wasn't going to get it :(

I still went into my interview with a good attitude knowing that anything was possible. When I left on my drive home Satan started putting bad thoughts into my head about not getting it. I was thinking how in the world could I get hired over someone who was an aide for a whole year in this school? I quickly changed my attitude and started thanking God for my interview. I decided I wasn't going to let Satan put doubt into my head anymore! I looked up scriptures on doubt and faith and came across James 1:5-8. As I was in the middle of reading this, my phone rang. NO JOKE! It was the principal at Windsor offering me the kindergarten job! I COULDNT BE MORE EXCITED! There are so many questions I should have asked but I was just so excited I didn't get any of them out! :)

 

God is so good and he knows the desires of our hearts!
