By now a lot of you have heard this news....but in case you hadn't: TH was hired last week for a great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is in a district that is a bit of a commute, (not the most fun in these gas-conscious times,) but it's definitely do-able.
He is a Special Ed. teacher with a group of 14 middle schoolers and three (!) assistants. The Sp.Ed. director is really great and he has been welcomed very warmly and he really likes his new kids. BTW: They have learning differences but they are NOT behavior kids!! Hallelujah! No worries this year about being hit or stalked or slandered (!) He is very happy and grateful. Below is an excerpt of a letter I sent one of the (many) of you who have been praying for us. I wanted to share it with you.
All I can say is thank you, and thank God!
-------------------------------------
School started in the beginning of September and after countless applications and interviews, still no job. We kept asking people to pray but we knew that now that school had begun there was little hope of getting anything more than a long-term sub position at best. That meant we’d have to pay over $1,300 a month in health insurance on our own.
The week after school started, a woman found his application on the web and recruited him for a school district we had not considered. Turns out they had a “special situation” where a teacher was willing to stay through the beginning of school, giving them the time to find just the “right” person. Long story short, they were thrilled to hire my husband and he was thrilled to join them!!! We have a new insurance policy paid through the district and later this month we will receive our first check in months!
We wanted to thank you so much for your faithful prayers. We also wanted to tell you about how the job finally came through after we thought it would no longer be possible, and that after all those months of applying and being rejected by so many people, when the right job came along, it was the employer who sought him out! As if that weren’t enough, we looked back at all the applications he filled out and the many job situations he was willing to “settle for” for the sake of our family, and it turns out THIS job is the best of all the ones he was considering!

God is truly a Lord of miracles; of not doing things through the “normal channels,” and of turning the world’s wisdom on its head! Thank you for being a part of our testimony—we wanted you to rejoice with us!
