Bad Day

I am trying not to have a large "pity party," but I needed to vent my frustrations, share my sadness, and try to process the day's events (so, if you don't want to continue reading, I completely understand...tune back on a different day for a more upbeat posting).

Today, after over 3 1/2 years, we had to turn in our two-week notice to our daycare provider. I know that it hasn't always been perfect, but I still respect our provider and cherish the relationships that we have formed because of her and her daycare. June 19 will officially be our last "daycare day."

I am excited to spend the summer with my children. Working out a schedule, joining groups and attending activities, and making memories will all be wonderful. More than wonderful, actually. However, I wish that this would have been on my terms; not a decision solely based on money because my employment is still up in the air.

That brings me to my other issue of the day. I had an interview yesterday. It went well, except for one question where I wasn't familiar with a framework that the school uses. Anyways, I spoke with the principal today, and I did not get the job. There was another internal candidate that was offered the position. The principal had nice things to say. He mentioned that he thought the interview went well and he had kind things to say about the experience. He also reminded me to continue applying.

So, here I am. Only 6 days left in my position, no job leads on the horizon, and daycare-less in 8 days. All of this is beyond overwhelming, but I will continue to pray, apply, and do my best. God has plan, and I pray that soon I understand why I was put on this journey, and that the plan will be clear.

My Bible seems to be stuck in the Psalms. I just read and read and read. Cry. Read and read and read. Cry. Read and cry. Cry Cry. Pray Pray Pray Pray...at the end of it all, it is about being found faithful in adversity. Not being like Job's wife and cursing God. Then you will miss the blessing. No blessing EVER came to someone in the Bible when they rejected God, cursed the process or even walked away from the faith by choosing FEAR over JOY...the other day, I heard someone say..FEAR is
F: False
E: Evidence
A: Appearing
R: Real.

Prayers are with you...
