A Fresh Start

This school year, I have started over.

After deciding that I needed to spend more time with my kids as mom, I took a step toward resigning my teaching career for a while. My principal and other administrators understood. I needed a clock-in, clock-out job where I could go home and be a mom, not working 24-7 on paperwork and planning for meetings.

Then, this summer God opened a whole new doorway. The paraprofessional who had been the technology instructor decided to work elsewhere, and a friend let me know the position had been posted. I started praying about it, and decided to apply. I prayed that God would make the decision for me – and the door would either be so wide open there was no doubt, or it would be slammed in my face. That of course, made me super nervous in the interview. Because I knew that God’s answer might be no… and I might not get the job despite having worked with the people on the committee for the past three years.

However, that wasn’t His plan. Before the interview was over, I was told the position was mine, and they were so excited to have me in this role. Such a huge blessing it has been. Four weeks in, and I’m loving my new job, and the stress level is SO much lower! I still get to see some of my former special needs students, while also instructing everyone else on technology, as well. I have my own classroom to decorate. PLUS, I get to work with the electives team, which consists of some fabulous ladies who were already my friends, but now are my TEAM. I am beyond blessed!

Look for a new post coming soon about how I have my computer lab organized and decorated… and a super fun paper project that my mom and my partners over at Clear Path Paper are helping me with! 🙂

Until then, be blessed!
