My New Position??????????

Dear Readers,

I have been overly busy. I really don’t like being overly busy. I was going to write about my new position, but it seems a bit premature now because I may not be getting that new position after all. Let me go back to the beginning. I created a position for myself @ my school as an Inclusion Specialist. This is basically a Resource Specialist. This would have been a gigantic step forward for my school, but as the head honcho @ my school told me, “That’s not the direction we’re moving in!” She really could have told me that a couple of months ago, instead of leading me on. But, I digress since there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it. So, I have two options- I can student teach… for FREE. Did I mention for FREEEEEE?!!!!!!!!!!!!! My second option is to find a school where I can teach on an intern credential. That would be ideal. But, and this is a big but, the school is paying for me to complete my degree/credential, so that may not even be an option. I’m sure a solution will present itself by August. However, only time will tell!

After You’ve Done All You Can, Part 2

Dear Readers,

I’ve done all I can and I can’t do no more. I’m at my wits end. I’ve tried to hold things together, but they keep falling apart. It seems as if my glue just doesn’t stick. Right now, I’m listening to my favorite gospel song, Stand by Donnie McClurkin. I love the song. I feel the lyrics. I’m living them now. Hell, I’ve lived them time and time again. I’m tired. After all these years, I am still stuck in a holding pattern. My loan modification has been denied. I’m in dire financial straits. Hopefully by the time I get to the end of this post, my strength will be renewed by listening to Stand. I’m kinda’ doubting at this point, but I’ve been worse off than I am now and have had my spirits lifted by this and other songs.

I can only say that I will continue to stand, even though I feel like my legs are about to collapse. I have no choice. I can’t quit. So, I guess I will stand! Lord Jesus, what do I do???????????????????????
