Episode 4: Life Uncertainties

One week of institute left! What a whirlwind of teacher-ness this has been! With this phase coming to a close, the next leg of the journey is close behind, bringing its own challenges!

I found out last Monday that I didn't pass that crazy chemistry certification test I took in June. What that means is that I won't be able to get a full teacher's certification until September after I've retaken and passed the test. Most schools in Arizona can't/won't hire teachers if they don't have that certification. And school here starts the first or second week of August. So it is a possibility that I'm not actually going to be able to get a teaching job for the start of the school year. I might be able to get a substitute certificate, but I guess that isn't a very good option this year with the budget problems.

Further complications in that I've been waiting on finding housing and signing a lease on an apartment until I have a job. That may not be an option anymore, so I'm praying for the right situation to open up for me to live somewhere in the meantime until my certification and job stuff goes through.

So lots of waiting on the Lord right now! Starting next Saturday, I need a place to live, so that is the biggest prayer request.

Some exciting news as well- last weekend I got connected with a young adult's group from a non-denominational church here in Phoenix, and met some incredible Christian brothers and sisters. It was awesome to be in fellowship and get to worship with them. I'm excited to get further plugged in to the group! :)
