God's Plan vs Mine

Since we moved to the Chattanooga area over a year ago, I have been seriously seeking God's will for me regarding working. I am blessed that at the moment, I can stay home and not work. This time has given me a great opportunity to volunteer with the church, Mike's unit, and Kate's school. This has truly been such a blessing and I am so grateful for these opportunities. However, when Mike comes home, we will need a little extra income. and I truly miss being with students on a daily basis. I have been praying for God's guidance in this area.

I am in the process of applying for a position at the Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga. This will be as an outreach educator. If hired, I will go to various schools with preplanned lessons that I will present to students in about an hour. This sounds so perfect to me. I can be in a classroom doing what I truly love to do and still have the flexibilty to be there with Mike and Kate. I have my second interview tomorrow and actually have to teach a lesson to an afterschool group. I am excited yet nervous at the same time.

My dilema is this. Is this God's will for me or my will? I truly want to follow God's will and I believe that this is it for now. This position will give me many of the opportunities that I desire at the moment. Please pray that I will listen to Him and not my own desires. I think this is a dilema that most Christians deal with. I am asking for prayers for me as I go through this process. I am also asking for prayer as I teach a lesson that I have not seen yet and did not prepare myself.

Thank you to all of you who pray for our little family daily! God is so faithful and I know that He is in control. The door He wants to open, He will open. We love you all!
