I received a phone call around 9:30 AM this morning from Mr. Genry Ard, Principal of Ridge Christian Academy, asking me to come in earlier than 11....about an hour earlier haha. Luckily I was up and running [barely running after little sleep] and made it to the church by 10:05 AM. I didn't meet with Mr. Ard but with Ms. Mizell. She started off with "so you are here for an interview" and I kindly looked at her and said "really I am not sure why I am here except for the fact that Mr. Ard told me to be here." We laughed at the whole situation and she went over what I would be doing if I took the job.
Basically I would be doing the after school program for the kindergarten through the 6th grade. This would include watching them and doing activities with them. The times are M-F from 11-6, which isn't too bad. My only concern is that I am not that great with kids so I am not sure how could I would be with the job. On the other hand, I believe that God put this opportunity into my hands as I did not apply for it and it came out of nowhere. The director at the academy gave me until Monday to decide. After all it is a job and is temporary. Lots to think about...
Ah-haha! I could see you being tackled and ran over by 5 year olds. Just saying. :)
ReplyDeleteBut, I totally are thinking the same thing you are. God likes to give us opportunities to step out on faith. You know, super uncomfortable positions... like kids. But I fully believe that if you trust Him, rely on Him, not only will you grow spiritually and maturity-wise... but I know that He will use it as a stepping stone for greater things. Hey, parable of the men that were given money and asked to "take care" it while the owner was gone. Yeah, that owner totally rewarded those that did more than just sit on it... sit around. Totally cool.
Okay, sermon over. And for the record, I just sounded like a 35 year old. Dang, what is up with that?!
