Already!

Just wanted to drop a quick line and let everyone know that ALL of the money is in for my training in Philly next month! God is so AWESOME! Thanks to ALL of you, whether you were praying or able to help financially...I can't do this without you. YAY GOD!

(Side note: I was really happy that God didn't wait until the last minute either...) :-)

I bought my plane ticket...

Today I bought my plane ticket to Philadelphia, for me to attend RACE next month. This is a training thing with WorldTeam, who I will be going through when I go to Haiti.
I still have to get some things squared away before next month, so please keep me in your prayers, especially for finances, since I will miss over a week of work.... :-P

Thanks friends!

An overdue update...Things are moving forward!

Hi friends!
I am excited to bring this update to you today… I have been invited to WorldTeam’s R.A.C.E.(Reciprocal Assessment & Candidate Evaluation) next month. More on that here. This is a big part of my going to Haiti to teach through WorldTeam, and will assist me if I end up working in other capacities with them later on down the road. It should also be a useful week where I can learn more about WorldTeam and about myself. So I am looking forward to this opportunity.
But I need your prayers, friends, because the cost of RACE is $500, besides my plane ticket to Philadelphia. As most of you know, I am working two jobs, and some of you may not know that my student loans are coming due starting this month. So I am currently scrambling to figure this out financially. But God provides where he leads, so I am trusting that it will all work out in time. Right now (this week) I just have to book my flight and send in a deposit, so I have a little time to work with for some of the money. And praise God that I already have the time off work! My bosses are very supportive!
I thank you for your prayers and encouragement. A girl could not ask for a better support system. And if you would like to help, let me know, and I will get you details. Any contributions are tax deductible.
Thank you again for your prayers.

Updates as of Dec 2nd

Hi everyone!
So as of yesterday I am officially a substitute teacher for Duval County! Sweet!

I am also moving. That is a long story, suffice it to say that the new digs will save money and give me some more space. It is in Arlington, which is kinda far from some things...but I am optimistic. And she is cool with me living there until the big move next year. That is the best part.

Lastly, I will be submitting all my final paperwork soon for Haiti stuff. Some got pushed to the side for a variety of reasons, but I plan to have it ready to go by the end of the year. Just pray I get it done, and some of it is personally challenging.

That is all for now, thanks for reading!

Subbing at Kelly

I am almost a substitute! I interviewed and fingerprinted today, and have orientation in 2 weeks!
This will be more good experience for me before the big move to Haiti. And it is good money with a flexible schedule. I plan to throw all of that income toward school loans and such, too.

And apparently Kelly is in a hiring freeze, but called me and a few others because they had a "few open spots."
It all went well today :-)
So yeah, that is the latest on that.

Kumon is still GREAT and I love working there. I intend to work at both places, and Kumon is willing to accommodate my subbing a few days a week.

The only sad part is that my weeks will be more full, and I won't have my quiet mornings anymore :-( I will miss those...
But at least I still won't be as crazy as the college busyness. :-)
