My name is Shannon and I am a blog slacker.
I've been a tad little ton preoccupied this past week or so as I waited to hear
if I would be reassigned {budget cuts have hit our district} next year
and couldn't seem to focus long enough to get any sort of blog post written.
My news arrived on Friday and as I suspected I was reassigned.
Reassignments were based totally and completely on what certifications you hold,
not on how good or hard you work at your job so I was fairly certain of my fate.
{I'm certified in Early Childhood thru 6th Grade so I can teach lots of grades and subjects.
Never thought being highly qualified for many things would hurt me?}
Never thought being highly qualified for many things would hurt me?}
To say that I was disappointed is a huge understatement
{there is much more to the story than I'm writing here}
and I spent much of the day and night in tears.
I'm still struggling to understand but thankful that I still have a job,
know that God is in control,
He has a plan,
and His plan is always the BEST plan-
even when I don't understand it.
A sweet friend dropped off a book on my doorstep early Sat. morning
and as I read these words struck me:
"Do you trust Me to orchestrate your life events as I choose,
or are you still trying to make
things go according to your will? I am not a careless God.
When I allow difficulties to come into your life,
I equip you fully to handle them. Relax in My Presence, trusting in My Strength."
Such wise words.....and so very true.
So I'm going to trust that my year ahead will be a great one.
Relax in His Presence and trust in His Strength.
Where He leads, I will follow.
Where He leads, I will follow.
