It's Official

I am officially disabled. My application was approved by the insuranced company and I'm now just waiting to hear from Social Security. Sometimes I don't know how I feel about that. Physically I know that I could no longer function working and trying to manage my health. But, I guess I must honestly say I miss teaching working with students. I don't miss the paperwork and mundane record keeping. I read passages and I think, "Oh, that would be an excellent reading selection for my 8th graders," or, "That would give students a great opportunity to think,". How thankful I am that I did have the opportunity to go back to teaching after getting our family started here (I taught here for 12 years) and even more thankful now that I worked in a situation where the compensation even now is adequate to meet our needs. God has been faithful. Even when I was busy with the four children and couldn't teach, He provided me with such great job experiences such as working in the public library. Each job I had, I knew was a provision from His hand. So, my chilren, as you go through times of looking for a job, considering a new job, contemplating those changes that are often necessary, don't be afraid to ask for God's leading, DESIRE His leading, because then you will have peace of mind. But, you must be strong enough to then live and do what He also asks of you.
