Coincidence? I think not.

Well I'm just gonna dive right in:

I finally got an interview!!

Send prayers, good thoughts, warm wishes, crossed fingers, whatever floats your boat my way at about noon on Wednesday.

Because I'll be interviewing for a social studies position at Maple Grove Senior High.

Woot!

It's only a part-time position, but it would be a great way to get my foot in the door of the district.

Oh, and in case you didn't know, 

I graduate from MGSH in '07.

So it'd be cool to be back there!

I'd say I'm not getting my hopes up, but let's be honest:

my hopes are up.

Maybe not hopes.

Maybe just excitements.

I am so stinkin' excited and happy to just finally have a call.

To finally have an interview.

To know my applications aren't completely lost in a pile of hundreds of others.

Oh yes.

Hundreds.

Did you know that?
For one social studies teaching position, you'll end up with a couple hundred applicants?

Sheesh.

So I'm feeling excited to even get an interview.

I almost didn't blog about it.

I debated.

Because if I don't get the position, well, then I gotta blog about that.

But I thought, ya know what?
This is life.

It's great I got an interview.

And if no job comes from it?
Well that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. 

But ya know the coolest part??
The big reason why I wanted to blog??

Because of the power of God.

Yesterday, Sunday, was fast Sunday.

I fasted and prayed for hope in the teaching field.

But here's the thing:

I was the only one in the house that fasted yesterday.

So everyone was eating in front of me.

Including Thomas.

I almost gave up and ate so many times yesterday.

Because everyone else was eating.
But I really wanted to fast for my future career.

Well, I made it the whole day fasting, after several temptations to give in, and then the next day I get a phone call asking to set up an interview at MGSH.

Coincidence?

You may say so.

I definitely think not.

Even if I don't get a job from this interview, 

I needed this call.

I needed this to relight my excitement, my fire.

I needed this.

God is good, people.

God is {so} good.
