I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. I've believed that ever since I broke up with a boyfriend at the age of 15 and had to find the good that was coming from the break up--why we dated, what I learned, why God had me even experience that short relationship. Ever since I discovered that belief, I've applied it with all my struggles and obstacles in life. You can learn from anything and everything! And I am constantly on the search for all challenges!
I've been out of school for two years now and have yet to find a job that provides a livable salary or has challenged and helped me grow in my career. I got my teaching certificate and have been on the search ever since. I work well with kids, enjoy them and love watching them grow! I would make a great teacher! (Not trying to toot my own horn here, just confident in my abilities) I've had a few interviews and have been working with special needs children and have not landed a job! Now with all these budget cuts, it's almost impossible!
A few months ago (~6 or 7) I was crying to a friend about how my life is going nowhere. I have been on the search for "the reason" for my career struggle, and financial struggle as well and have not come up with any results! Why hasn't God allowed me to use my skills and talents with children and as a teacher to help the school system and these kiddos?! I want it so bad!
Be careful what you wish for :)
About 3 1/2 months ago, my boyfriend of over 4 years decided to pop the question! Such an exciting time! Being engaged is so much fun and magical! Tons of giddy feelings and constant smiles!--Something is finally happening in my life that's worth talking about!!
Wait a minute...be CAREFUL what you wish for....
Three weeks after the proposal, I noticed some body changes that were undeniable...I'M PREGNANT! Nothing happening in my life!??! Yea! We rushed the wedding a little bit and now only half a year after crying about my boring life, I'm now happily married with a baby boy on the way! And now have new career plans that I am so excited about!
God's laughin now!!! Everything happens for a reason, I haven't gotten that teaching job because I have one thing to focus on right now, being a mommy. I wasn't positive about going back to school, because I need more time to think about what I want to go back for, this gives me more time to think about it. I have been struggling to help make me a stronger person, to give me experience with kids, and to really think and feel for what I'm supposed to be doing for my life...that's "the reason"
I LOVE FINDING MEANINGS!!
I remember you said you had a blog on facebook and I put you in my favorites and just saw that you updated! Congratulations on all the amazing stuff that is going on in your life. I am so incredibly happy for you. :D We are growing up so fast....can't believe Kindergarten with Mrs. Wolfe was about 20 years ago!
