God is Good

The last couple of weeks have been quite a whirlwind and God has been good for sure. I was just reading my last post (quite depressing), but things have turned around since then.

Two weekends ago Chad I traveled to Priest River for a wedding (congratulations Annie and Don) and we had an absolute blast. It was great to see many friends that we had not seen or hung out with in a long time. We were home for 3 days and began driving south towards San Francisco. Our final destination was Santa Rosa (about an hour north of San Francisco) for another wedding of some great friends (congrats Danny and Becky). We drove through Oregon and at the California/Oregon border we headed west towards Crescent City and the Redwood Nathional Forest (more pics coming). On our second day of travels I received a phone call from the principal at Sandburg Elementary and he wanted to interview me for a 6th grade position. I was beyond excited, yet nervous because teaching 6th grade wasn't exactly what I'd had in mind. Beings that we were driving through the mountains the reception was poor and the principal said he would call me back in about an hour, as he was already fully aware that Chad and I were on vacation in California. As soon as we had cell reception we pulled over and waited for the phone call...The interview was a little different, but an hour after that I received another call from the Director of HR. I assumed he was calling about something in regards to subbing; however, he said that he would like to offer me the 6th grade position at Sandburg Elementary. Following his statement was an awkward moment of silence and then I shouted, "I'm totally in!". He laughed and said a bit more seriously, "Yes, Robin, you are totally in."

Beings that Chad and I were about an hour from the rehearsal dinner site, we decided to continue towards Danny and Becky. It was bittersweet sharing the news, because we had a hamburger and then turned around to head home. We were both full of emotions when we left the rehearsal dinner...sad to be leaving, yet excited that I got a job. Not only were we going to be missing Danny and Becky's wedding, but the following weekend we had plans to travel to sourthern Idaho for another wedding (congrats Anna and Brent). We pushed through that night until about midnight where we then stopped in Redding. The next day we drove 10 hours the rest of the way home and the following morning we were up bright and early to go put my classroom together (again, more pics soon).

God is good. Many family and friends had been praying for something good to come our way and mainly for me to get a job. Through much prayer and support, it happened. Again, God is good. Thank you everyone for your prayers.

Now I'm off to correct papers with my morning tea in hand. =)
