Wait for it...

Wait for it…

My favorite part of HIMYM is when Barney adds suspense to situations by adding in “wait for it” to his statements.

“I – wait for it – am – wait for it – in – wait for it – love – wait for it – with – wait for it…”

You get the idea.

I think this is God’s favorite part of HIMYM too. God loves to say “I – wait for it – know – wait for it – the – wait for it – plans…”

Again, you get the idea.

I’m waiting a lot right now, and God provides blessings at intervals that give me hope and help me see the shape of my new life in Virginia. The more I trust He will tie up the loose ends, the more satisfied I am with the results.

My first job interview is on Tuesday with principal at Williamsburg Middle School in the Arlington Public Schools. Arlington is the district where I made the best contacts when I visited in March, interviewing with the director of recruitment and the head of social studies. I was really impressed with the district and their commitment to social studies (something really lacking in my current position). Mom is very much of the mindset that I should take the job if I am offered it. I do have a good feeling about it after looking at the website, so fingers crossed. It would allow me to find a team for grad school and start looking forward to plans for August.

It is looking like I might have almost ALL of August off to play in Virginia! Thankfully God answered a prayer and provided a Mortar Board Fellowship, with the first half coming in the mail in late summer. This blessing will help guarantee I make it from KS paycheck to VA paycheck. (I know God will provide a VA paycheck…just wait for it.)

I think it is good to sit and look at how God says “wait for it.” This whole journey to Virginia has been slow in planning and started with a short conversation with a classmate in a grad school class during summer 2007. Rachel and Sol and baby Fig are all part of the journey to the decision to VA. Every little piece that falls into place just confirms that God has it mapped out ahead of me.

One last wait for it…BABY FIG! I can’t wait for his arrival which could be any second. I’m anxious for his arrival, but God keeps saying "Wait for it..."

Finally, this was posted from Bluestem Bistro (formerly Java) in Manhattan, KS. This is my last trip to Manhattan before I move.
