Changes and Decisions

I'm hoping for some changes in the next few months. Right now, I don't know where I'm headed as far as teaching goes. I think I enjoy it and could be a good career for me, but I just don't see very many jobs opening up this summer. With the economy and all, there aren't very many people who are retiring. Everyone is holding on to their jobs.

I could get by on another year of subbing. And if that's where God has me, that's where He has me. I am thankful that this year He has provided steady work as a sub teacher. I do know that I am getting tired of subbing. It's a great little gig, though. While I feel I'm ready to move on, I'll have to see what the Lord has for me. While I'm hoping for a job that pays more and is more secure, I am thankful that sub teaching has allowed me to get by these last few years. It is impossible to tell what God has planned at this point.

I also don't know what I'm going to be doing with coaching. I really do love it, but I'm looking for a change. I've coached 12 and under for the last 6 years, so I'd love to work with a different age group or go a new direction. We'll see what happens with that.

I'm actually also thinking about moving. Not really far, but changing apartment complexes. Val and I think we're paying too much for our small apartment. I've seen some places that look pretty good for less. Actually one of the major reasons is because we really, really want to get a dog. Our current complex doesn't allow pets. My lease is up in May, so we're gonna think and pray about it. It's a shame our complex doesn't allow pets. We really do love the place we live now and don't want to go through the hassle of having to move. Just another thing to pray about.
