God is Great!

Do you ever have moments when you are just completely reminded of God's amazing love and power in our lives?

Today, I am having that moment.

This morning, we had DJ's preschool orientation. He attended the 3's class there this past Spring. While it is held at a church, it is not a specifically Christian preschool. They do occasionally incorporate stories and ideas, but with the diversity of our area, it's generally religion neutral. In any event, we got there, met his new teachers for the 4's class this year, and then the parents went to the sanctuary to get the low-down on the years activities.

The first thing Miss Wendy, the director, said was that they were looking for a parent volunteer to assist twice a week in the pre-k class (afternoon class). As soon as she said it, I knew it was meant to be. Not only will it allow DJ to experience the pre-k class prior to going to Kindergarten next year, but it will allow me to experience teaching.

I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. I have doubts sometimes, whether it's the right job for me, but this will be a great chance to see if it truly is where I belong. I will make some much-needed extra money, and on top of that, DJ's tuition will be FREE!!! So, I spoke to the director and I have to get a few things done (fingerprinting and CPR class), but I will start right away on the first day, Monday.

It will be an adjustment for DJ and in the beginning, the days will be long. His Mondays and Wednesdays will be all-day school. He will have his own class from 9:30-12 and then have lunch and then be in the pre-k class from 12:30-3. I have every confidence in his ability to handle it, he is very adaptable, and it will be very good experience before he attends all-day kindergarten the next year. He will also have school just in the morning on Fridays.

Ahhh...I'm rambling! It's not a totally for sure thing yet, but it looks good and even to just experience it for a little while is awesome.

I feel so blessed!!!
