To begin with, I applied as Sports Marketing Representative for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. That basically entails me finding ways to market fundraising and awareness for St. Jude at major sporting events. It would be pretty fun to do something like that and I would definitely LOVE to work for the cause. For some reason though, I'm not feeling too confident about it. I don't know. Just a feeling.
Then TODAY Brian's cousin, who is a 2nd grade teacher in Memphis, told me about a position at a high school in the Shelby County School District that is in need of a theatre teacher. BINGO!! So, I applied. I have been talking to God about this one aaaaaaalllllll day. This would be the perfect set up to do what I love and have a good gateway into grad school. I just keep telling myself that HE will do whatever HE sees best for my life. If I get it, praise Him. If I don't, praise Him. That's the lesson I'm learning. (But I really really really want it) :)
So, if you could, just say a prayer for me. I would be so thrilled to take this position. His timing.

Brian turns 25 on Sunday. What an old fella. And just like I always do, I gave him his birthday present early. Sigh. I couldn't help myself. I hadn't even had it for a full day and I gave in. He is pretty manipulative when it comes to gift giving. :)
Our good and very close friends -- Drew and Jenn -- told us today that they are expecting a little one. I'm so excited for them but so blown away by the fact that I have a number of friends who are expecting or are new parents. Whoa! That just doesn't seem right! Aren't we all supposed to be 16 and riding around at night with the windows down, looking for simple mischief? Holy granola. It's kinda difficult to not catch baby fever though. But luckily for me, just when I have the biggest bout of baby fever, logic hits and I realize that we have PUH-LENTY of time left for a child. Well, we hope!
Again, pray for me if you get the chance. And be sure to let me know how I can pray for YOU.
Finding "that job" can be very frustrating, but it is also very exciting because the possibilities are endless. Both of those jobs sound SO interesting (and a great fit for you!). Just hang in there and keep talking to the Father about it. I cannot tell you how incredible it was when He gave me my job. What a great time!
ReplyDeleteI understand about baby fever, too. I have to coach myself through, but I know we aren't ready!
Praying for you!
Yay! I am so excited about this possibility for you and Brian! What a joy! I am definitely praying!
ReplyDeleteBaby fever is difficult. Especially when everyone seems to be expecting right now. God will bless us with children when He sees fit, but I hope it is a while for us!
