Ups and Downs and All Around

The last few weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. I had been working really hard for a few months to get Frank X. Walker to come and read poetry at the highschool where I work. Two weeks ago wednesday, he came to E.C. Glass and it went really well. My students really liked him and I got my picture taken with him. It was a really neat experience. In April, Sharon Draper will be coming to Lynchburg and I hope to get to meet her and get a picture as well. That was the up...

Going down.......

Yesterday, I found out that I will not have a job next year. The budget cuts eliminated 60+ people from the Lynchburg City School District. I cried, then I came home and cried, and then I cried some more. Since I am putting Clayton through school right now, this is a big blow. BUT! I know that God will take care of us. He cares for the lilies of the field and the birds of the air, how much more does he care for and love us... Please pray for us. We know God is in control but this by no means lessens the wondering about the future or the anxiety of decision making. Please pray that God will provide the right job at exactly where he wants me to be. I was thinking maybe something in photography?!

Jesus loves me this I know
Cristo me amo, bien lo se
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tell me so

Eyes and prayers
going up....
