Following God's direction

Now that all of the family and employers have heard the news it is time for a public sharing of information!!  I know some of you have seen my name on the School Board Agenda as a resignation.  Let me give you some details to what has happened over the last week and a half.

1. I received an e-mail about an opening at the Oklahoma Baptist Children's Home

2. I filled out the application and went to the campus

3. Talked with Coordinator of the position that I applied for and she told me that the position had been filled!!

4. Received a call to come in for a formal interview

5. Was offered the job (same job but they created another position) and told to talk it over with Cory.

6. Was told that I would start in October.  (2 months without income from me :(  this scared us)

7. Wrote my letter of resignation and dropped it off at the administration building.

8. When we surrendered to this job we were then told that I could start sooner!!  mid August!!!  (Isn't God amazing!!!)

Now we are at the point of waiting.  The school board will vote on my resignation tomorrow night at the board  meeting.  We have started packing and getting rid of belongings.  We have to sell our house.  We have to relocate to the campus in OKC.  (Yes we will be moving!!!!)

What will I be doing? I will be a Family Advisor.  I will live in a 3 bdrm house connected to a cottage that is equipped to house 4 single mothers and their children.  I will be working with these woman on important life skills that they need to raise their children and be successful as a single parent.  

We covet your prayers for a quick sale on the house, an easy transition for us (and the grandparents that will miss us), and that God will equip us for the challenges that this new journey will bring!  Thank you so much!!
