Hope...

"and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. " Rom 5:5

Yes today is a new day, and although I am disappointed I can feel God's love surrounding me. This bible verse believe it or not just came to me and I had to google it because I couldn't remember exactly where I had heard it. Even as I type I am feeling regenerated. Despite the fact that every couple of words my computer appears to be freezing up. IF there are typos in this forgive the English teacher, as it was not my my intent.

Despite, everything GOD is still good. I have thought about the fact that I could have been less than honest during this process with everyone involved. From my principal to the organization that I interviewed with but in the end, if it is not where God wanted me to be... he wasn't going to let me go there. I thought that it was all so right, but I am reminded of the fact that God will never leave me or forsake me. New Haven, CT would have been uncharted territory and I believed that I was up for the task. Educational reform is my passion and t the heart of me I know that is where my life's work is going to be found. The job would have taken me out of the classroom and allowed me to work more with the policy side and finding people with the same passion for educating children of color that I have.

Regardless of what I am feeling right now... I know that God will work it out...

He hasn't let me down yet...

My negative feelings have subsided for the most part... I no longer hope the organization goes bankrupt or that fraud forces it to lose it's nonprofit status. I still haven't responded to the rejection email, but I will by the end of this week. I just need to be in the right mindset...

Be blessed.

Fraud and bankruptcy? I feel the depths of your disdain. When I think about you Rhonda one of the most obvious concepts of life comes to mind "TIME." You teach,serve the community, sing in the choir, attend church, head a professional organization, interact with your pleathora of frieds, love you mother, teach your nieces, provide support for your sister, trendset for the flyest gear of the next two seasons, and maintain these events well. Your life is extremely well rounded and you have been blessed with the time for that to be. While this isn't for certain, whose to say that the new position would offer you the time to pursue your passions outside of work. Now I make that last staement with caution because I'm fully aware of your tenacity and will to do the activities you desire. A part of me just feels like that New Haven gig would've haulted your livelihood. I make that claim because every change your life would've encountered sounded like it was on their terms. In saying that I pray that a more Rhonda suited position arrives right on Time for you.
