Prayers Answered!

As some of you know, my mommy has worked all 7 of her teaching years in a title one school. The last two years have been extremely rough on my mom. She has done a lot of praying on should she quit, try again to transfer within the district to another school, go to elementary school, take an additional test to do high school math, go to private school, go to my daycare to do pre-school, or what? Something just had to change.

Mom has prayed a lot about it but after praying heavily one night, 2 days later she got a tip that there was a possible opening at a Lutheran Private School just a few miles from our house. It sounded too good to be true! She was scared at first, but did some research to see if it would be a smart move for our family. The more she researched, the more her anxiety turned into excitment that it would be great for our family. Mommy always wanted to be able to pick me up from school, but now I could go to her school. I could get a private Christian education too for free.

The position is to be the volleyball coach, and PE teacher with maybe one other class. Mom can get away from the grueling math TAKS test and do PE! Wow, what a change for the good that could be! In case you didn't know, before moving to Houston mom coached junior olympic volleyball for years. She is so excited to think about getting back into it. So for 2 weeks mommy wanted to get excited, but didn't want to count her chickens before they hatched.

So in the last two weeks, she has had a phone interview with the principal, a face to face interview with the principal with the tour of the facilities, and then an interview in front of the whole board of 7 people. The last group interview was Monday and she waited and waited all week to hear something back. Tonight the principal called and said she has the job!

Mom always wondered why, why she has had to teach in the tougher schools for all 7 years, why, why, why???? Now we know why, if not she wouldn't have been jumping at this chance to work in a Christian Private School that will be so great for me to grow up in.
