I need another job because the school department has depleted all of my joy of wanting to go back to teaching. Say the word (show me an alternative), and I'll walk away today. God uses me tremendously, but the school dept. has educators running around chasing our tails. I don't want to go back. My license expires in one year, and they won't renew it because I didn't student teach (have to pay another $2, 500 for another program if I want my license to be renewed). However, I have been a substitute teacher, and now I've been a lead teacher for 4 years. I've exceeded the standard during all of my evaluations, I've obtained my masters, the Lord has used me to cause the students to excel academically and in other ways, I'm not disrespectful to the parents, and on and on. I have worked so diligently to get to this point, but I just would like it to end. WHY? The obstacles never stop. And to make matters worse, I mailed off the application to the program that will cost $2,500, and because of their forwarding issues, they have lost my application (with my transcripts, diploma, principal's signature, etc.)

It would seem like the Lord would want me to stay there, but...I pray God will show me an alternative. My family and I have made so many sacrifices since we've been in Fall River. I know God will work this out. I just don't see it yet. Just like he sent a visitor yesterday to show us the vision isn't dead, God will open a door. He didn't give me so many talents for me to be the jack of all trades and the master of none (meaning God being a master in me to do great things).
