BabyPoppy Posted May 7 Report Posted May 7 I applied for a new job this week...it'll be for next school year... lotsa reasons... my former principal/director called to recommend me (like wow! That's a huge compliment) and found out that position is filled.....but there's another one possibly open I could qualify for since I've been rock'n it in grad school! She talked me up really well and told me what to send in...sooo I just reapplied, directly to the principal! Yikes! Big leagues here! But ok! Please pray that God's will be done! My heart really just wants to serve children and families. To do that, I need to be supported as a teacher. I'm not supported in my current job, so I believe God has a better plan for next year! It could be easier, it could be harder (prolly will be) but God's plan is always best ! Thanks!❤️ 1

BabyPoppy Posted May 9 Author Report Posted May 9 I have an interview next week!!! I'm super excited and a little nervous! But mostly excited! I wasn't looking for a job until I was, then things start happening and pushing me forward to this point. I firmly believe that God will tell me when to move, and I feel like the time is now. Please continue to pray that God's will be done. Blessings be returned to also! Manda

BabyPoppy Posted May 15 Author Report Posted May 15 Interview today!!! I'm feeling jumpy!! Gotta calm down! "Be still and know that I am Lord" Ps. 46:10
beanbean Posted May 15 Report Posted May 15 I am sure it will workout you got this he will help you 1
BabyPoppy Posted May 15 Author Report Posted May 15 Thanks! The interview went well!!! They said they'll let me know before the weekend!!!
BabyPoppy Posted May 17 Author Report Posted May 17 No word on the interview yet... I'm feeling really apprehensive... I don't want to stay where I am next year, but no word yet, probably means no... however, I'm not licensed for this position, and one of my references did not send a letter... so rationally... I keep saying they need to speak with my last reference... they need to contact the Board of Education to see what I need for a conditional license and they need to know what trainings are available on what dates for me to start then figure out how to pay me to go to the additional training outside the typical contract... there's training coming soon...and typically contracts start in August...teachers only work during contracted days... so I'm still hoping for the best but preparing my heart for the worst... knowing that God's plan is perfect either way! Just really wish my daddy was around to tell me to self care! That's the toughest for me. When I'm worried, overwhelmed and preoccupied I struggle to do basic self care and my daddy is unavailable again... so I'm awake at 1:40 am fir a 2nd night in a row... 3rd time I missed bedtime this week...maybe 4th... I know prayer is the answer, but it's difficult to pray for my needs. Time to use the prayer journal tonight...
beanbean Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 Well hopefully it works it out but if it doesn’t there still time to look for another. Can you go out and get this license on your own? Still praying for you for sure 1
BabyPoppy Posted May 22 Author Report Posted May 22 Soooo guess what??? This amazingly awesome fantastic only from God thing happened! My current directors found out I was looking elsewhere and asked me on Monday. We had a very real conversation about my feelings, their feelings, the program currently and going into the future, my professional goals, personal goals and how I want to help the center yo grow. Like 45 minutes of serious, try not to cry coz I'm a strong powerful in control working woman talk... Then the big boss reached out wanting to talk and we talked for 30 minutes in a serious... admit I'm wrong, but confront the problem of my needs not being met professionally too, and don't back down in front of her either kinda talk...(powerful women kinda scare me)... she offered full time work at an increase pay for summer and full time teaching for fall... she even admitted to some miscommunication and her wanting me to stay. I'm going to help develop curriculum in the agency, not just my center, but definitely in my center too... It's a huge step for me! Plus I qualify for more grant money for my degree and loan forgiveness... it really is what I wanted, but didn't know how to ask for. Communication is so difficult with most of the world! I feel like I juggle so many parts of myself all the time... the teacher, the employee, the co-worker, the mentor, the parent, the friend, the Sunday School Teacher, the volunteer, the daughter, the ex-wife, the student, the responsible and respectful citizen.... but when do I just get to be me? Then I come home change into comfy clothes find my paci, my stuffies and check in here with my little friends. It's like I find my safety net... a place to rest... I gotta be something for someone else everywhere I go, but here I can be me. Here I don’t think about how I communication... I'm just honest and just me. It's so wonderful to relax and be me.
