bummer, again


so i guess i can talk about yesterday's exciting news because it's today's disappointing news.

a 5th grade position at an elementary school in bartlesville was posted yesterday afternoon, and this is just what i was hoping for. i immediately applied and then called some people that i knew had connections with school people in bartlesville. to me everything seemed to be going great. but today i got a forwarded email from one of my contacts that came from that principal stating that she was done with the interview process and hoped that if i didn't find a job that i would substitute for them. i was bummed.....i even cried a little.

i'm just ready to move on. i'm ready for my entire family to live, work and worship in bartlesville. i report for work on friday in broken arrow. so if i don't get a job in bartlesville tomorrow, then i'll be commuting to broken arrow as soon as our house sells.

i know that god has better plans for me. i know that he will send me the right job, and maybe the one i have right now IS the right job. it just stinks to be told, "no." sometimes.

Sorry Amy! I know how disappointed you were. Being told no really does hurt. But you have the right attitude. Turning to God and waiting for his positive response is the best thing to do. You have to feel encouraged knowing how many people are praying for you!

I have to retract a previous comment, Colby does not have the best Quotes... God does! But Colby comes in second. Love that verse. It is very encouraging.
