Finding Work

I am proud to say that in May of this year I graduated with my Masters in Education from a local university. The accomplishment was something I was proud of as a result of the bumps I encountered along the way. During my 1st semester of graduate school I found out I was pregnant, with not just one child but two. While this was not exactly what I had planned I embraced the situation and finished out the year as big as a hot air balloon. Going back to school what a feat for me and took me much longer than originally planned. However after 3.5 long years in graduate schools, and many hours of fitting my studies into my busy schedule as a mom I finished my program. My girls were so cute during graduation waving and screaming "We love you Mommy." I have always been proud of my accomplishments, but knowing I was setting an example for my children to be proud of only heightened my experience at this graduation.

 It was a joyous time and I thought, now I will go out into the world and do the work I have worked so hard for. Well, like many things in my life, this is not exactly how my life has progressed since then. I have spent my summer looking for working, with the looming of my school loans over my head. As September comes and I still do not have a job, I have become much more frustrated and discouraged. I have had a couple of great opportunities come my way, that for some reason did not work out. While I realize that God has a plan in this all, at this point, its sometimes a struggle to understand what it is. I am still looking and hoping for something within my field or at least working with kids to come up, but am trying to focus on enjoying the time I have with my children before the school year rolls around again. 

I am trusting that there is a plan for me, and I will concentrate my efforts on continuing to love and cherish my beautiful family, while enjoying the special moments that come along with that job.
