Just do what's next and do it well....

Wow! I haven't posted since the first of April! These past few months have been crazy but exciting, Hard but incredibly good! Ever since I finished my student teaching in April, I've been applying for teaching jobs. Out of probably 100+ applications, I've only had one interview which did not end with me getting the job. After praying and talking to my mom and other mentors in my life, I've decided to give myself until the end of this month to find a teaching job. With this 'deadline' looming on the horizon, I've been asking myself, "Ok, so what's next? What do I do if I don't get a teaching job by then? What IS God up to?!" Along with all this, I guess I should mention that the man I'm going to marry one day is all the way up in Rock Hill, SC right now. I'm telling you, life is such a crazy journey! I feel as if I'm back to my freshman year at Lee asking God what His will is for my life. I so badly want to do what HE wants me to do that I'm almost afraid to take steps. But as I wrote in my previous post, I just need to take the first step and God will guide me through the next steps. My pastor's wife, Mia, told me today that I "just need to do what's next and do it well." So God, here I go. Holding on to the only thing I know for sure, YOU!
