I figured it is time to blog. ;)

One of the main reasons that I haven't blogged since July is because I forgot my password to get into this website and blog. LOL do I feel silly.

Since I last blogged, things have improved! I still have those moments where I feel that "I'm Not Alright" but not as often as they were happening the last few months.

I didn't get my job back as an elementary teacher at the school that I taught at for 3 years because the principal decided to hire someone else. I look at it from the outside now and I realize that it is a blessing from Jesus that I don't have that job right now. Jesus knew that I couldn't handle working there this year had I gotten my job back. So yes I am jobless because I have no full time job, but I am working as a substitute teacher.

I had also applied for 20+ other full-time teaching positions for the county that I worked for the last 3 years. I only ended up getting interviewed for 6-7 of the positions. I didn't get any of those jobs either. I had applied for different teaching positions out of the county as well and I didn't get any job offers from there either. So I have this feeling that the Lord has closed the door to teaching right now because He is moving me in another direction now. I have been applying for other jobs outside of teaching, and no job offers yet in that area either. I know that I will keep praying and trusting the Lord! I don't understand this direction yet, but I know that He has my back! He won't let me down and He will supply all my needs!!!

I did end up moving out of my apartment and back home with my parents. Thank goodness that I was able to move back home with them!

I know from the world's point of view that I am worse off that last year, but I beg to differ with them on that one! Yes I have lost my apartment and my full-time job, BUT I am even closer to Jesus than I was before! To me that means more than anything else in this world!!! Because if Jesus is with me, then I have nothing to fear! He will ALWAYS be there for me!!!

The last couple of days, I've been a bit bummed about the election as well. It didn't go as I had hoped but I believe the WORD of God (the BIBLE) and it says in...

Romans 13:1 ~ Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Although the election didn't go the way I had hoped, I'm standing firm that the president elect is the one that God had planned to be the next president of the USA. Everything happens for a reason, even though I or maybe even you may not fully understand why it is happening.

As I was typing up this blog, I went to go check out my daily verse on Facebook and this is the verse that I saw there...

Romans 8:28 We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

So tonight! I am confessing that God's word is true and that as long as I am following His plan (not sure what the full plan is yet-but I know Jesus will let me know when I need to know!) for my life, then I will have nothing to worry about!!! Thank you Jesus!!!!
