Searching for Patience

The past couple of weeks have been trying. In all honesty, not having a solid plan for the fall has left me anxious and a bit blue. I want to be in the school where I will do the most good. I've prayed for God to "use me" to make a difference. That's all I've wanted all along. I can't not mention the incredible amount of support I've received during the ups and downs of job hunting, interviewing, and the emotional waiting game. My mom and boyfriend, Robert, as well as my colleagues and friends have been wonderful. I continue to be in awe of their own patience and perseverance. I was thinking to myself today, next year when I am faced with obstacles I can't yet fathom, I'll think back to these days and remember how badly I wanted this. It will surely put things in perspective.
 
On a lighter note, to rid myself of these "no job" blues, I've attempted to add a little color to the situation by busying myself with laminating, poster-making, and crafting for a classroom that will (hopefully) be mine soon. Enjoy! Oh, and no judging on the (lack of) artistic ability! :)

These birdies are part of my Carson-Dellosa theme. I painted and hot glued clothespins to
 the birds to feature student work.
