Thoughts in an airport

So I am sitting in an airport in Portland as a stop to Korea. How did I get here? First by the great power God this has happened. He should get all the glory and power in this. Why aren't I sitting in school teaching Kindergarten right now as most of friends while if you have time to read you will find out.

This story goes back March. I sat down in my prinicpal Richard's office. He began to point out all things I did wrong and how I was not teaching up to "par". However my students showed me otherwise. He told me there had been no improvement at all and the best thing for me to do was resign. The night before Richard came in my classroom to evelateve me, I prayed that God would do his will in this. That if I was to stay at Cartwright he would open Richard's eyes and Richard would see all the things I saw. However he didn't. I had several "meeting" with Richard during the rest of the year where he contiued the beating. In the end I walked for Cartwright heart-broken, upset, lost confused and my confinendence shattered.

I didn't look for a job in March, April, May, June, or July. It just hurt too much. Beside I didn't know if I could teach. God was bring people in my life at this time and some of them would do something of the healing and others would just be there. I also spent time with the people who loved, but this wasn't helping. I started attend a church at Mesa at this time also and these people are just wonderful and loving and caring.

I went to a job fair that was pretty much useless or so I thought. I was given an ad for another job seeking website. So I went online and looked for a job. I found HoyaEnglish was looking for people to come teach in Korea. After so talking with a friend about Korea. I decided to apply, what was the worst that could happen. I would still be jobless. So I applied and the following Tuesday I was hired by the company. They began looking for a school to place me out. The next Tuesday I was called by a school in need of someone to teach Kindergarten. They had 40 extra kindergarteners sign up for school. So now I am sitting in an airport waiting to fly to Korea.

Watching God put this together has been on of the most thrilling things in my life. I'm excited to be doing this and really can't wait to meet my students.

Things that God has done:
Getting out my lease was cheaper than I thought
Jim took my dog
God laid it me on Tammy's heart
My last dinner in Phoenix I saw 5 church memembers at the resuartant
Kelly found us even though I wasn't flying out of Northwest like I had thought
Katie (a ASU grad) has the same flights and is also working for HoyaEnglish.
My father bowed his head to pray with Kelly and I.

Keep your eyes open as more is to come.
