I just moved for the 7th time in 7 years :)
If anyone is reading this, which is doubtful considering I haven't posted in 10 months, I moved last weekend! :) Yay! I am going to be living with one of my closest friends from college, Amanda, in Aberdeen. This is most convenient considering I work there and my church is there.
I am still trying to figure out what to do about graduate school stuff. I have pretty much resolved that I do desire to go and therefore do plan on going. So, with those decisions behind me the rest will be easy, right? ha. Oh the plight of the indecisive decision maker.
I do not want to get my Masters in education for the sake of redundancy. I do need to get it in something the public school system would recognize as worthy of a pay increase though. Some of the things I have considered include, Teaching English as a Second Language, Linguistics, Intercultural Studies, Urban Cultural Studies, etc.
Something that comes with making that decision (which I am allowing myself to take a few years to make) :), is trying to decide if I should keep it local and head on to NC State or follow a dream up to Wheaton, IL.
I do love the school I teach in and have resolved that I will never teach under a better principal. Mike Metcalf is really the most considerate and effective leader a school could ask for. I am very blessed that the Lord opened up a place for me at this school. Actually, if it wasn't for Dr. Metcalf I probably would have never taught again. Leaving this school would be a difficult decision to make.
I am also a part of a local church body, Sandhills Presbyterian Church, which I love. We are getting a new pastor next month and his two awesome daughters are involved with the youth, where I volunteer. My small group has blessed me with some pretty great friendships.
The point of this post was to update you guys on whats been going on with me, but ultimately I just want to say that the Lord is Good. A year ago I was never going to teach again and now I am certain it is the job for me. Only the Lord could have changed my heart and He did! He also provided amazing friends, a place to live, and and wonderful local body for me to be a part of. I am thankful for His grace!
