I have been waiting to hear about this job now for over two weeks. I've done my part. I've called and asked for a time frame and all that. I really want to work for this school district and it sounds like a PERFECT job with perfect people to work with.
Now I am just waiting. I pray that they will hire me, but with each passing day I get less and less hopeful about it. I want to work there. I want to teach the students in their community and I'm really excited about the relationship they described the faculty has with each other and the staff as well.
Anyway, if you think of it, throw up an arrow prayer for me and my job situation.
Thanks.
Love in Christ.

What is on my mind.....
So I've signed myself up for A LOT. Here is a list in case you wanted to know. Junior League (provisional year is the most time consuming), I'm helping to get things ready for VBS (this requires me to spend as much time as possible at the church... I put in 3 days a week), I've committed to helping to coordinate the sanctuary for VBS, I'm hoping to get a full time job for the fall, I am still praying I'll get a baby to bless our home, I've volunteered to help with the children's midweek (really I was asked to do it and someone else said I was doing it before I had a chance to say otherwise and now I"m just in it. I don't know when it'll end.) and next week I"m going to watch four kids as a stand in babysitter.... Am I forgetting anything????? Oh yeah, and as of yesterday, I am now on the leadership team for the women's ministries at my church.
How do I get so over extended. I definitely see that one of my spiritual gifts is serving. I love to just do anything, as long as I"m at the church helping someone out. I love doing the menial-don't-have-to-use-your-brain kind of work. Not that the work doesn't matter, because it is huge to someone that I"m willing to do it, and at the church I know it is going to better the Kingdom, but it is literally something an elementary student could do. Now I did have a little trouble yesterday using publisher, but it was more frustrating than difficult.
Anyway, I'm taking this morning off, going to lunch with some friends, and then I'll go to the church. I justify this by the fact that I"m going up to the church on Friday to stuff bulletins for VBS. Also that I am JUST A VOLUNTEER!!!!!! I have the right to do what I want and when I want. My mantra at church is, "I do what I"m told to do."
So now you ask what is on my mind..... Well, I'm feeling a little anxious. I know that I will be able to handle the work load if all comes to fruit, but the problem lies in the fact that I want to be in a Bible study. I want to have fellowship with Godly women. I don't feel like I really get that in Sunday school, even though there are some Godly women there, their meek personalities are far outdone by those who are not blessed with meekness.
I'm crazy. I know that, but shouldn't our desire for more, especially when it comes to wanting more of the Lord. It sounds crazy for the first time to hear myself say I want more of something and it is the Lord, as if He is far away from me. I know He is near, but at the same time I feel about as far away from Him as the Sun is from Planet(?) X, formerly know as Pluto. I need to get back into His word, but the lack of structured study is not helping me do that.
I gotta go. I need to be doing something else right now other than spewing my brains out on Blogger.

Happy Hump Day
I've always thought it was funny that Wednesday was called Hump day. I know the reasoning behind it, but I never really understood the meaning for it.
Anyway, that isn't what I 've come here for. I came here because I had some things on my mind. I know I should just get it out there and be done with it, but I just am not sure I have enough time this morning. Maybe later. For now, I'll just sign off and say See you later.
Have great HUMP day!

Another Day
Well, I've decided that I think I might go ahead and try to take the clomid. I haven't heard many people, I know, be successful with it, but I would like to think that I am an exception to the 'norm'. Wouldn't we all.
I've really been doing some thinking and seeking Christian opinion about it and I've come to the conclusion that it is what I like to call an area in the Christian Gray Area. You see, The Bible says nothing about fertility help, other than you aren't to give yoru husband over to another woman to create a child with her that ou will raise. Nowhere in the entire book does it say, "Thou Shalt Not take a drug to help your body do what it is supposed to do naturally, like ovulate, but doesn't do." I figure that if I take the Clomid and God doesn't want us to have a baby, then guess what- WE WON"T. But if we take the Clomid and it is God's time, then God will bless us.
My doctor says that she only does 6 months on the Clomid, and then she refers to someone else who is more specialized. That's not too long is it? Nope, 6 months I can do. So after a year of trying to just take progesterone or maybe only 6 months I"ll have to talk to Nick about it, we will hopefully be trying to get pregnant using a mild fertility drug.
On another side of my life, I am once again filling out job applications. It seems like a yearly thing for me. I HATE IT!!!!!!! I have 13 School District applications printed out on my desk righ now, and through the next three days, I plan to finish them all and send them out. At the same time, I am supposed to be helping full swing with VBS prep work and still maintaining a home for my hubby. He is so supportive and I love him so much. I feel bad for him that I'm so hormonal because of the progesterone I"m taking. He gets the brunt of the emotions.
On yet another side, it has now been two weeks since I watched NIck's uncle take his last breath. I can't say that I have totally recovered from this. In fact I don't think that I"ve fully dealt with all my emotions as a result of that event either. I"m sure that eventually I"ll dedicate an entire blog specifically to that, but for now just now that I am changed by it.

To New Beginnings
Well, it feels as though my life is at a stand still. I'm now done with my service in BSF, atleast for the summer, and I am not working anymore. I'm waiting to hopefully get a fulltime job teaching for the fall. I pray that that will work out. I trust that God is going to provide for Nick and I, but a little reassurance is always handy. I've just begun my provisional year in the Waco Junior League. I'm really excited about that and hope that God will use my service there to glorify Him. I am just about to really kick it into gear with VBS this summer. And I'm trying to plan my husbands 10th HS reunion. All this going on and still I feel like nothing in my life is moving.
Actually I feel like I am at a crosswalk in Vegas- because that is the biggest place I've been to and had no sense of direction in- and all the people that I was traveling with crossed the street while I wasn't looking and I can't see where tey went. All the cars are going by me so fast that I can't tell who is in them, and then the buildings around me start to spin and the entire world feels as if it is turning so fast on its axel.... but I am just standing there confused and motionless. Not knowing where to go next.
I guess, if you are trying to figure out what my blog is going to be about, it will be about the next step, the process one takes when they are tring to find their way again. Trying to stop the spinning and the speeding cars and find the party they were meant to travel with.
Enjoy.
