And so another chapter begins in my life. What a blessing from God. I go to my new school tomorrow and meet with my principal to discuss some paperwork and classroom details. I am anxious and nervous about starting next week. But this is normal I suppose. I've only been teaching a few years and I have so much to learn. This job, as my dearest friend puts it, is not about making money or prestige, but all about getting closer to God and getting closer to Him through relationships with the people I work with. I found this interesting and I think she is really onto something here. I have much to work on with myself in being a better Catholic and more focused on the God and the Holy Spirit.
Tonight dear hubby is helping me get my boxes down from the attic and up from the basement for the classroom supplies. Teachers are savers and pack-rats. We have to be since most of our supplies come out of our own paycheck and very little from the district. Hubby will be glad to have the extra space back for storage bless his heart. So next week I will start driving over with carloads full of boxes and go to meetings and unpack and meet my aides and new staff. Our school is brand new and it will be like all of us starting out fresh. The old school, built back in 1953, had seen its days and now we have a new one.
It will take me awhile to get back into the swing of it and hopefully start a whole new career at this school. But I have to remeber, it's all about getting closer to Jesus. I need to turn it over to Him and ask for His will each morning to be done. Thy will not my will, Amen!
