Starry, Starry Night

Just a quick note before I hit the sack.
I had the best day at work today...I love my job!
The room was well prayed up by the time the kiddos arrived. I had to do some special ed. running around - file checking, student finding, I really accomplished something important and it made me feel good.
There was this awesome storm in town while we were solving our problem from yesterday, the God of Glory Thundered.
Dance practice was fun, but exhausting...i love dancing unto the LORD!
When we left church, the sky was bright and filled with stars. We haven't seen many stars lately because it is monsoon season in New Mexico.
I've been getting up very early lately. Praying on my front porch. Here's my prayer for tomorrow morning:
Praise be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, who caused the morning stars to sing together, and all Your creatures will shout for Joy! Praise the LORD!

I'm so glad work went well. I'm waiting today to hear whether I got that second grade job I mentioned earlier because I want to go set up my classroom. Hope you have another fantastic day!!!!

maryellen,

It would be nice if you were to post a wishlist of things that would be useful in your teaching or your ministry. Something has been stirring my heart to ask if I have something tangible to contribute.

Another outlet, as promised:

About 8 years ago, after teaching part -time as a reading specialist, I started searching for a full time job.
I "heard" the LORD promise me that he had the perfect job for me, but I just didn't get hired. I remember standing in the back to school section of WalMart crying because I wasn't going back to school. I started the year subbing, and all the classes I got were special ed. I hadn't had any sped classes, but I was told by one of the teachers that the district would hire me on a waiver and that they really needed sped teachers, so I applied. I never wanted to teach sped, and now I am teaching the type of students I never ever wanted to work with, Junior High, Sped, mostly with behavior issues...and I love it
I know this is where I was meant to be.
daily read...perhaps we will post such a list on the Gateway of the Rock sight...

Thank you for sharing some of your teaching story. I really appreciate hearing other teacher's stories. I will be posting on my blog as soon as I hear whether I get the job or not, but I wanted to let you know that I have received much encouragement from all you hae shared. Keep smiling!!!:)
