Half term
Half term is great if you are a child or a proper fully-paid up teacher.
It is rubbish if you are a supply teacher, because it becomes a week with no work or chance of salary.
However, it was nice not to have to go to school.
Even so, I'd left my previous position as 'child management professional' in Birmingham because of a promise of a job in Nuneaton. So I was looking forward to a new challenge of teaching Spanish. Yet somehow God has closed that door and this morning, Monday, I find myself with a lot of time on my hands and without a lot of money. But, hey ho, I've got lots to do for Kid's stuff at Church and so in the meantime I might as well get busy for God and trust Him to provide for the bills and food etc... THIS is yet again living by faith.
It's most frustrating to not get a job that I can settle in and then at the same time it's really exciting because God has to come through with a miracle to provide, and THAT is what I'm looking forward to this week.
Philippians 4
"I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need and I know what it is to have plenty. [...] I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
Well, I'm learning in any case. Not quite there yet, but I'm on my way.
