After applying for jobs all summer and not hearing anything back from schools I was happy enough with just going back to Sharon to be an aide. I had put confidence in the Lord that was the place where he wanted me. Then Thursday August 15, 2013 I received a phone call at 7:30 am about a second grade position. So I threw on a skirt and ran to the school and had an interview at Orem Elementary where I believe it went very well. The principal there is Sister Meline's older sister Rachelle so I felt comfortable during the interview. That day I went on as nothing happened to receive another job interview call for Friday morning.
After that interview in Highland I was talking to my mom that they both felt good and it will just be up to the Lord where I should go. I then at 3:30 pm received a phone call at Shopko from Rachelle that Orem would like to offer the second grade teaching position to me. I began to cry and feel unreal that I had been chosen. I hurried and ran to the school and met with Rachelle and she keep telling me how impressed she was with my response to the interview questions. She gave me keys to the school and my classroom and introduced me to meet my team Laura Giles, Debbie Cram, and Bridgette Funk . I am so grateful and so very full with joy to be teaching right now and so close to home. I am grateful for how the Lord works and am so glad that I have put all my trust into him. Let the journey begin at Orem Elementary as a second grade teacher of 24 students in two days.
