So this morning I had a phone interview with an inner city charter school system called YES Prep. I think the interview went well, I could answer confidently to all of his questions and we talked for about an hour when the interview was only supposed to be about 30 mins. The interview really got me thinking about how much I do want to move back to Houston to work for them, but yet I don't want to get my hopes up either. After reflecting back onto the interview and how much I would love to work for them, I started to think about why they would want to hire me; a brand new college graduate who is not certified in Texas and has a semester of teaching experience. So I started to pray. Thanks to my friend Christal's wonderful advice, I have begun writing my prayers down in a journal, that way I am fully concentrated on talking to God and so I can go back and see how he has worked in my life. So as I was writing, I began questioning myself and my skills. This week was one of those tough weeks where I feel like if it could go wrong it did go wrong. So naturally, I started stressing out almost to a point to tears. But then, something happened. In the background, I had pandora running on a country station, but I was not paying attention to it. While I was praying about how I am not good enough to get a job, my music became louder and something inside me told me to focus on the song. The Rascal Flats song, "My Wish" came on and I just sat there and listened to the lyrics. It was literally like God was saying something to me.
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
I know I keep blogging about this, but I just know that I need to stop worrying and let god handle my life.
Oh and want to hear a funny story? I'm going to tell you anyway...
I thought my second interview was today at 4:15, so I got ready and set up my computer ready to Skype. No answer because it is definitely scheduled for April 26 at 4:15! I know, I am dumb. Better a month early than a month late!
