my mom always said...

Good things come to those who wait.

And its true...after 4 and a half months of being in Australia I finally have a full time, permanent job! Starting tomorrow I will be the OOSH (out of school hours) director at a local Christian school here on the Central Coast. I'm very excited, a little nervous and super overwhelmed at how fast it all has happened. Everyone kept telling me after the holidays I would for find a job, I really do need to start trusting my friends and family more because I was sure I would be back on a plane in the next few months heading "home" to start all over again, because you can't live off of savings forever.

I got a call from a friend of my cousins the other night and she mentioned to me about this job, the next day I sent off some paperwork and the day after I went in for an interview and they offered me the job right there on the spot. Its a brand new program at the school, so everything about the position is new which is a little scary but I think it will be a great opportunity for me to be a part of something from scratch. I won't be in the classroom like I have been the last few years, which I do miss but I'm excited about getting to work in a school setting and being able to build relationships with kids and families again. I'm also excited about being apart of a wonderful Christian school. The ladies I interviewed with were so welcoming and kind, I think i'm going to love being apart of the staff there.

God has continued to bless me since i've been in Australia and this job is an answer to prayer. I'm so excited for the things to come in 2011, so far its off to a great start :)
