Livin' the good life

My sweet friends.... summer is almost here!!!! Can you hear the excitement in my voice!!!!!  Just 2 more days of sweet little children and I am DONE! WOW! Time has flown.  I cannot believe another school year is coming to an end.  I will be DONE.  It almost doesn't seem real.  Especially since this chapter of my life is over... for now.  Not sure what my next endeavor will be, but as of right now I will not be working for the school district next year.  Scary. I know in my heart it is time for me to branch out in my career, but if you have ever met me or know me - I like my routine and schedules are my best friend.  I like being comfortable.  Going out on a limb is not my slice of pie.  Though, I feel like God is pushing me.  Pushing me out of my comfort zone.  Stretching my faith.  It is scary friends.  Being in the middle of the road and not knowing what next step I am taking.  I am scared, petrified, Anxious and Vulnerable.  It is hard to put yourself out there and keep applying to jobs when you have heard back from NO ONE.  Many days I have doubted my decision of taking a step away from the school district and furthering my career.  Though, the gentle reminders come from sweet words from the hubby, verses sent by friends and prayers spoken over me that I know I am right where God needs me to be right now.  Even though this is really scary and testing in so many ways, I know I need to be obedient because I am finding that in the times of discomfort God is growing me in ways that could not have happened in my comfort zone. Some days my faith in this whole process is so strong and other days I feel like I cannot take another step, but in the end I am relying on God to know just what I need for this next season of life.  So here is to the next step... whatever that may be!  Though, for now I am livin' the good life.  I have had an incredible year with my students, I have a husband who loves me beyond measure, a family who is spurring me on, and friends who are lifting me up in prayer... what more do I need?!  So for now I am going to finish strong and then enjoy a little break... by the pool! :) I hope everyone has had a great start to their summer.  Here is to new adventures!

Much love,
