ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.

An old commercial jingle - most of you probably don't remember.

It is as if I will never be able to give any solid details about all this transition that I have been harping about for months.
Mostly because there has been no change, but I do know that God has been preparing our hearts and preparing the hearts of individuals in the path that lies ahead.
I know God is going before us to make whatever happens happen in a way that proves to be successful for our family as a whole and for Chris and I individually.

I do not remember a time when I was forced to put so much trust in God. I am a control freak. All this waiting and believing has been taxing to my flesh, but has benefited my relationship with God and my husband.

So to catch you up on what's new-ish:

I submitted an application again to our local school district for an open elementary position - not music, just general classroom. The district requires you to submit a letter of interest and other necessary application related items for each job you desire to apply for - so Monday was spent working toward that end. Maybe an interview is on the horizon... 3rd time's the charm, I hear.

I have yet another certification exam tomorrow. This one will get me in the door as an English teacher in Middle School. Lord willing.

Another prospect has been brewing and may even serve to get my family back in church - my whole family. Sigh. Too wonderful a thought for words and the true desire of my heart. Having my husband next to me each and every Sunday.

We haven't heard anything back from the Fire Department, but hopefully God will provide us with a job for me first so the transition does not require us to sell our house.

We also don't want to take the kids out of their school right now. If I am to find employment, I am up a creek with afternoon care for my kids. Any ideas?
I will need someone who could pick them up from school at 1:30pm every day and keep them until I could come pick them up after work. And of course I would pay whoever that person was.
Please send your suggestions this way...

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. I hate to be that annoying friend who drones on endlessly about all the transition that will seemingly never take place, but I happen to believe that God's plan for us is near and within reach. It is something I have been praying for for a long, long time and I feel like I'll explode if I can't let my thoughts collect cohesively somewhere.

So it's lengthy blogs with no conclusive information. Thanks for scrolling and scratching your head with me.
