And the Rays of Hope Gleam Brighter.

Irons in the fire.
We all have them. Hoping for that day when all the ducks stand in a row and your perfect little world gets a little more perfect.

The happenings of this day might not stand out as a huge answer to prayer to everybody. But to me, it is the very type of thing that confirms my prayers and desires are being heard and there is Someone standing in my corner.

I was offered a job. A job that can be added to my current job at the same location.
Not teaching group piano. Starting tomorrow, I am the Music Teacher/Interim Janitor at our school.
I made it known that once the current cleaning lady got (ahem) 'let go' I might be interested in filling in. I will do it for the remainder of the school year and through the summer.
That will work just fine.
I will smell like bleach and I will be exhausted every day - but I am not scared to work.
And it is something I can do with my kids. And I think I can do it well - and that matters to me.

So I feel that it is settled.
God stands in my corner. He has heard and acknowledged the need. He has extended options that work with my family. And I have been blessed.
Thank You Lord, for my janitor job!

(I think I can put THAT down on the list of things I never thought I'd say.)
