It's been over 10 years since I entered high school. It seems odd to put it in that light. I was a shy teenager, and am still a close-to-the-chest adult. But, give me a topic that I have an opinion about, and I can talk your ear off.
I see bits of my teenage self in my students. The ones who are passionately interested in a particular subject. The ones who meticulously finish their work, but still have a bad day now and then. They are the ones that remind me every day of the joys of teaching, and the blessing it is to work in a Catholic school.
I'm discerning a job change right now. I love my students, my co-workers, my boss, but I have a little one at home, and driving nearly an hour to work takes its toll. If you would pray for me, I would appreciate it.
St. John Bosco is the patron saint of my homeroom-- each of the 8 homerooms has one. I will be praying for guidance from him as well as my patron saint, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. I would love it if you joined me.
Thank you & God Bless!

ReplyDeleteI know how difficult this discernment process is! I will keep you in my prayers that you may find what will work best for your little family.
Many blessings

that is not an easy thing, trying to discern. will light a lampada (oil lamp) to the Protection of the Mother of God for you.... (wishing you could find housing nearer to the school and keep what sounds like a great job but praying that God will show you what to do, as a baby does change everything!) (((Hugs)))
