So I got offered a job yesterday. Yay, right? Or not? Its a teachers associate job for Karen Acres, an elementry shcool in Urbandale. I have been complaining about my job for years now. So its a no brainer to take this job right? NOPE. I dont think I have ever struggled with a decesion so much in my life. I cant decide what shoes i want to wear on a daily basis how can i make a choice to change my career. There is no doubt in my mind I would love the job. Nothing makes me happier than bad ass little kids, and the little girl I would be in charge of sounds like she is one of the worst. During the interview I was so excited, I thought I would be good at the job, and I thought I would love it, but one thing I never expected was that I would actually get offered the job. Then my phone rang yesterday " we would like you to join Karen Acres as a 7 hour teacher associate."
So, what is the problem you ask? MONEY!! It is a 10,000 dollar a year pay cut. I struggle financially now, so how would i ever do that? Does God want me to do it? Where would I work during the summer? Where is the line between being responsible and having faith that he will meet ALL my needs? I have no freaking idea.
Im trying to listen, hardcore, but Im getting nothing. Well I have to decide by tonight. Tomorrow this will be all over, and I have not the slightest clue what that even means.

wow. tough choice, i would suggest that you block out what all logic is telling you to do. i have learned to believe that true faith has little to do with earthly responsibility. true faith trusts that when we are obedient, God takes care of that need (whatever it is). what do you feel 'obedience' is in this situation?? if you think God is calling to the job, step out in faith and receive that God will take care of your needs. yeah, you might need to get a second job, or maybe God will just wipe out your financial struggles so you won't have to worry. the thing about faith is we have to step into it....we have to take action before we know the result.
hope that helps! love you! let me know what God decides for you! :)
