That was fast

My letter stating that I am officially on the sub list came today. Yay. I also got my stuff from the student loans service centre - so I should give those a look-see. If you know any teachers in the Prairie Spirit School Division please tell them to ask me to sub :)

So Much To Do

Well, my Saskatchewan teaching certificate FINALLY arrived so tomorrow I will be dropping off a copy at the division office. I have no idea how long it will take to get me on the list and then to start getting some working days, but at least it's happening. They also posted a temporary position at WES from Nov 13 to the end of the year - that would be fabulous. I am definitely planning on taking time with the package I send it. It will be awesome and they will hire me. I talked to my Alberta friend tonight and the superintendent out there denied the requests for additional teachers and even the request to just shuffle some students around within the school to ease the burden on the Grade 4's. Pretty crazy. I am so hoping and praying that I know something by the end of this month and that it will be positive and great.

I still have mountains of junque to go through. I'm deciding what I'll sell next garage sale season, what I would absolute NEED if moved tomorrow, what can wait, and what can go into storage. I want to get myself cleaned up and organized and ready for anything.

That is all. As usual, your prayers are appreciated.

Goodbye

My grandfather has left a wonderful legacy in his grandkids. We sang two songs at his funeral and I have heard from so many people how wonderful they thought it was. I know I will see Grandpa when I get to heaven and I am so thankful that the rest of my family will be there as well. We have the hope of an ultimate family reunion.

In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt of life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

Please Pray

I need to ask you all out there to pray with me. There might possibly be an opening at a friend's school that might possibly become a permanent position. My friend has already talked to her principal and they would be interested in me filling that position if they are given the money to open it. Unfortunately it would be in Alberta and that would mean having to change my car back over (again and the money it takes) as well as finding an apartment and all that entails. Definitely having my own classroom is something that I look forward to, but the cost involved in moving is something to consider as well - especially since my Saskatchewan teacher's certificate is about to come through and there's still the possibility of covering a mat leave in Dec/Jan to the end of the year. I am really struggling at home so it might be wise to go, but I just don't know how to make this decision or what God wants - He hasn't been clear with me of late. So please just pray for me and I'll keep you posted.
