As a few of you know God asked us girls to leave JCS, the school we teach at. With more prayer, tears, and sleepless nights than I could ever communicate to you, we put our notice in at the school on the exact day God told Kathy, Nay, and I. We have no idea how we are going to support ourselves without a JCS salary and what housing will look like next week because we live in JCS housing. God has told me to have faith and do it anyway because HE TOLD ME to DO IT. God provides when we follow as He directs.
I took my journal out that very week God told us to put in the month notice and reread my entries from when I was moving here. I wanted to remind myself how God took care of me and did miracle after miracle to move me to the Dominican. I read the day that I wrote "JCS hired me" last year...it happened to be the exact same week I told JCS I was leaving this year.
I was looking at the calendar this week and was talking about Valentine's Day with a colleague when I realized I left Chain of Lakes Elementary the very same week last year. I need to look in my journal but I AM ALMOST positive my last day is the exact same last day as COLE's. I had no idea.
I just sat down in my class to write my parent letter letting my students know that I will be leaving next week. I opened the document I used to leave COLE to see what I wrote. I clicked on the date to change it...IT WAS EXACTLY TODAY'S DATE!
I literally ran out of my room and went looking for a friend. Rovian was in the hallway and I told him all the news! He said, "FIGHT ministries is about to begin!" I ran to the teacher's lounge and announced it in there with excitement. I wanted to bust into my roommate's class but she was busy. So I headed home real quick. I saw Kathy on the way back and told her and we chatted about what is on our prayer list. I came home and told my other roommate!
In 3 short weeks, God replaced my position. She will be here next week. I sit here and type with tears in my eyes in amazement of WHOM I serve and His power and authority. We still need to fill 2nd grade and I am asking you to pray this week with us. I know I emailed a bunch of you weeks ago and asked for knee prayers, I am requesting it again. Take some time each night and devote it to the 2nd grade's position. HE CAN DO ANYTHING!
Glory to God for being so freaking awesome! That's MY KING :)
