Big day tomorrow!

Two posts in one night! Wow! It's because I'm dog-sitting at Steph's and so my laptop works (still no wireless at my apartment).
Anyway, tomorrow I am going to at least one and possibly two job fairs for teaching jobs for next year. The first one I will go to is for Round Rock ISD. There are 30 Elementary Schools in Round Rock. I don't know how many of them will be there or how many are hiring, but I have a copy of my resume for each one! The second one, if time allows, will be for Pflugerville ISD. There are 10 Elementary Schools in Pflugerville. Again, I don't know how many of them are hiring but I have a resume for each one of them as well.
Last Saturday night I had a table of guests who were discussing missions and the bible, and I had several conversations with them throughout their visit. When they were about to leave I asked them to think of me tomorrow morning b/c I would be going to a job fair and hopefully would get hired for full time teaching for next year. They said, "Why don't we just pray for you right now?". So they did! I almost cried. I closed my eyes and they prayed for me, right there at the restaurant. When they were done, they said I just had to believe it would happen. Well, I wish I was that confident.
I do know that God made me to be a teacher. He has given me the gifts and patience needed for this profession. I have wanted to do this since I was 6 years old. However, I've had my credential for a year and a half now, and I didn't really think it would take me that long to get my own classroom.
So, if you are reading this, then please pray for me. I realize a lot of people probably won't even read this before the job fairs happen. But if you do, please pray. pray for me to be myself and to not be nervous and to be joyous when God's plan is revealed!
Thank you! Miss you all!
