Well, today signals the end of school and also the end of a job for me for right now. I am applying for a teaching job in La Junta, although our desire is to move to be by family. I really don't know if I will even be considered for the position, but we felt that we should apply. Of course, the main obstacle to our moving away is the sale of our house.
We are planning on traveling next week to California to help Karen's dad work on the fixer-upper house that he just purchased. He should be able to move into it sometime next week. This will also give us a chance to look for teaching positions while we are there. We are planning to be there as long as he needs us.
Is it possible that we were meant to go to some church this past few months but the church leaders didn't respond according to God's plan? Or would that just be part of God's plan to start with? Or was it never God's plan for us to again be in a church ministry, at least for right now?
We are willing to do whatever God has for us--even staying in La Junta if that is what is best for His Glory.

Almost the End of School
Only a couple of more weeks of school. I am still applying for school jobs and church jobs. Nothing has opened up yet for us. We are still praying that our house will sell. We did have a "looker" this week, but no word yet from the realtor.
God seems to keep giving us hope through various scripture passages that He will answer soon. Sometimes I wonder why I am still here in La Junta when we thought we would be moving a lot sooner. A fellow teacher at my school said that God must have me at that school for a purpose--perhaps to reach a certain student. But I don't know that that has happened yet. I do pray for several of my students and hope that God will reach them either through me or through another student. I have gotten to know several of the Christian kids through the FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) meetings that we have each week at school. And I pray for them that they would be good testimonies to the other students. It is actually a fairly large gathering every week--about 60 students (in a school of about 400). Of course, some of them come for the free lunch provided by parents, but they also hear a short Christian message while there. We all need to be praying for our Christian students and teachers in the public schools! They can have a tremendous impact for Christ.
