I Stand All Amazed

I don't know that my amazement is a good thing or a bad thing. Communication scholars say that when something stops amazing us, we just integrate it into life and don't think much about how that particular technology came into our lives. So, maybe it is OK that I am still at awe for all the things my Heavenly Father continues to do for me. I would hate to ever take anything for granted that He has given me.

For the past few days I have had the opportunity to be in a charter school teaching science. It is a place where I feel like I could fit in, and where my teaching style would be in congruence with the mission of the school. I tend to run a tight ship that sometimes isn't so widely accepted in public education.

Today I had an interesting experience. In my second hour class we had to have a little chat about respect and as I started my lecture the principle walked in the door... Oh, goody. Do I stop? Do I keep going? Well, I decided that I would forge on and if she didn't like it she would let me know. Besides, I wouldn't want to be in a school where I didn't have the support of a principle anyway.

Looking back on it, perhaps she was supposed to be in my class at that time. I have a pending job application there if I get accepted by the state into the ARL program. So, I would rather get it figured out before I even think about accepting a job there.

When school was getting ready to dismiss she popped her head in my door and said she wanted to see me after class. Hmm... Everything started running through my head, mostly stuff from Satan. In the end I had consigned myself that I was in trouble, and went in expecting the worst.

It turns out she wanted me to talk with one of the department heads. YAY! Turns out it was like an impromptu interview further delving into my ability to handle the position they have open. I felt good about it and I hope they were able to see what my abilities are. Heavenly Father just continues to show his hand in my life and I am grateful that he does so often.

God is amazing and he stands waiting to bless us if we will seek him. The last few months have been some of the most humbling of my life since being home from the mission. I am grateful to learn more abot my Savior and strengthen my relationship with Him and with God. I know I will be successful at whatever I chose to do because Heavenly Father is guiding my path and helping me understand where he needs me in this vast world.
