Praying for the Wrong Thing

Lately Andrew and I have been working quite a bit. The church is going through an exciting time as we approach the worship transition in the fall, and there's a lot of planning going into that. I am even writing to Scotty McCreery, American Idol winner, and Tim McGraw to see if they'll come sing. It's a long shot, but it certainly can't hurt! The sermon series then is going to be based on Tim McGraw's song "Live Like You Were Dying" so it would be pretty cool.

I also recently started my new job at Skidaddles, and I really like it. The past two weeks I have worked with 2-3 year olds (and been sick twice, those little germ mongers)! But I do love it. It's a flexible atmosphere and it's one of the first childcare centers I've worked for where I would actually send my future kids. They've also asked if I would stay on to teach preschool in the fall for 4-5 year olds. It's definitely something I would love, but I'm having a dilemma about having to stop subbing and looking for jobs in the public school system. But I'm certainly considering it.

That being said, I went on an interview today at Erpenbeck Elementary. In preparing for my interview, I decided that I'm just going to be myself, show what I know, and leave it in God's hands. I firmly trust that God has a plan for me. This morning I woke up early and spent some quiet time with coffee and God. It became very clear to me that I need to begin praying for God's will to be revealed in my life, rather than for a particular job or path. My path or job that I desire may not necessarily be what God's will is. So I'm leaving it in his hands and praying for His will to be revealed in my life.... and if it's for this job, I'd be okay with that!

The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD. Proverbs 16:33
