Random Ramblings of Week Seven

Week seven.....wow! This past week I kept on telling my cooperating teacher that I am in total denial that I am going to be moving on to another school in nearly a week. It has been such a wonderful and positive experience that I honestly do not want to leave!

At the beginning of week seven, I started to think about what the future holds, or what it does not hold. I spoke with my good friend, Monica, about how I felt so defeated and hopeless due to the overall economic status of the economy. I have worked so hard to try to get this degree. Not to mention the fact that it has been a long haul between going to school full time and working full time. Now that it is time to go out and apply all that I have learned in a new found job, well, there may not be a new found job because there aren't any jobs! I think I have heard it all. From "What a time to graduate" to "Good luck in finding a job," it seems like the future does not look too promising. Nonetheless, God dropped Philippians 4:6 into my spirit while I was driving to work one day. It says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

I am now looking forward to what the future may hold. Although it seems like nothing is too promising, I know that my God has my future in His hands. He is a miracle worker, and He can do what everyone else around me says is absolutely impossible. It is exciting to know that He is already beginning to prepare the school, the classroom and the hearts of the children who I will be able to touch once I graduate. So I am awaiting my miracle because I know that as long as I am faithful to God then He will be faithful to me!
