Are You Kidding Me?

Do not let your beauty be that outward adorning of arranging the hair, of wearing gold, or of putting on fine apparel; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.  1 Peter 3:3-4


Well back to work yesterday...was it only yesterday?  Because it feels like I've been at work for months!  I'm sitting in a faculty meeting and Mr. M (my principal) mentions that I will be giving an overview of the RTI committee Friday at the faculty meeting.  My face is saying yes--no problem and inside there are screams.  If you remember I was appointed chairperson of this committee as I was partaking in a chicken biscuit.  This has taught me to never engage my mouth in a chewing activity if there is a chance my name might be brought up for a vote.

I've been trying to register for my media classes for a month; but they have had computer glitches.  Yesterday I was successful...registered and paid for; classes start in a few weeks.   I found out our media specialist at school was not going to return due to health issues.

Today I'm in charge (secretly love being in charge...I'm very bossy) of registering new students.  Parents who do not know what grade their children will be in this year.  Children having to tell their moms (never dads...they are a no show) what grade they left the year before.  What's sad is that this year...it didn't even faze me.

 Here comes Mr. M to talk with me.....about taking over the media position when it becomes available.  Now according to our district's policy I can become a media specialist as long as I show proof that I'm attending classes.  It's provisional until I get my degree.  I told him I would love to....inside I'm screaming!  He knows that I'm just starting classes but he said I could learn as I go; he really wanted me.  (My head would have puffed up at this; but the screaming inside was slightly drowning him out)

So tomorrow I turn in my documentation to him; and we will see.  I told him yesterday it would be God's timing on this and he agreed.  So here I sit.....registered for classes that now I have to pass and understand because in a few months I might be running the whole kit and cabootle...solo!

Which brings me to the verse in bold print; that is the verse I prayed this morning.  Something I've always craved because I'm just a wee bit emotionally unstable at times.  My notes are ready for tomorrow's meeting and the rest will come in God's timing.  I think this will be an interesting year!


What do you crave the most in your walk with with Lord?

Our district does RTI as well- this is just our 2nd year introducing it. I have gone back and forth of going back to school to become a Media Specialist, but I haven't decided if I wanted to spend the money to do it or not.
I probably crave closeness, b/c I struggle with prioritizing my time with God. I definitely have the time to spend with Him, but I don't use it like I should!

Sounds like an answer to prayer to me!
