God is Faithful!!

I got a phone call from Dominican Republic two nights ago and was told that they had good news and bad news so thought I would share these with you guys. The bad news is that there are not enough students enrolled for the fall to have two full Pre-Kinder 4 classes and so they can't pay me full-time. The good news is that they need a 4th Grade teacher and was now offered this position.

At first this was a little bit of a shock because as soon as I heard the bad news my mind was going all over the place because I thought that I was going to need to start a plan B. As I talked with the Director of the school she made sure that she gave me the pros and cons for this situation which was huge to see her do this for me. She explained to me of how she thought that I could do this job and that I would be fine. Once we finished our conversation I went ahead and accepted this opportunity.

God has been faithful and even though I doubted Him when I got that phone call He still continued with His plan and ignored mine. I had my plans of being a Preschool teacher and I thought that this was the perfect spot for me but God is showing me that the purpose of this trip is not for me to be glorified or to teach where I want but this is about where He wants me to teach so that he will be glorified. Please pray that I will continue to listen to Him even though it seems hard at times.
Jeremiah 29:11 " For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
