Being the last week of school before break and feeling like I want to pull out my hair after an off-on sort of day, I'll make this short...still promising that I'll write more once we're on vacation.
I have felt y'all's prayers so very much, even the prayers that I know my dear friends have sent all the way from Nanjing. It's blessed my heart so much. I can report that I do officially have a job. :) I'm no longer "just" a substitute teacher, but a permanent fixture in the life skills classroom. Unfortunately, I'm not considered full-time, so I'm denied the benefits of full-time...but you know what? It's all good. This is the way He wants it, and I couldn't be more thankful. At this time, the school board cannot post the position as full-time, simply wanting to keep it as a substitute teacher position. Well...I've been there 2 months, so why not stay? I told Destiny and the principal that I really feel this is His timing. I have incredible peace about it and know that it's no coincidence that my first day back in the US education system that I ended up in that classroom. This is where He wants me, and He's asking me to wait just a little bit longer for the rest. I can wait. Raul and I have had nothing but blessings fall on us in the almost 4 months we've been in the US, so there's no reason to complain. I didn't expect to find something so permanent right away, with the current situation and financial crisis...and then this happened. I just...yeah, it's working out the way it's supposed to. So thank you all for praying and continue to keep me (and Raul) in your prayers.

I'm so glad that you are going to be permanently in Jay's room! It's been really comforting to me knowing that you're there after I dealt with the trauma of changing schools for him this year!
I forgot to tell you this morning that I ran into your dad yesterday in Muncie. He told Jason that he'd heard all about him!
