Mr. Awesome gets a job?

Today I started a week long spot teaching 2nd grade. The cool thing is that I actually had a class in the same room when I was at that school. The teacher I subbed for was even a teacher then. It is rather weird. I’m connected to her in another way too, but that’s not important considering I am there on business. So… details of the week will follow. However, here is the interesting portion of the day.

I got a call this morning. Checked the VM to find the message was from a principal at a school I had been at a month or more before. He aid that he wanted me to do a long term sub spot. So I called him back, and I start Monday doing Intervention pull-outs till the end of April. The school is nice.. very nice. And its brand spankin’ new! Opened last year. The thing that I am flattered about… I don’t know any of the teachers at the school, office employees, or administration. The principal simply had seen my teach and sought me out. How cool is that!? It just makes me proud to know I did this simply on my own merit and not any contact. I intend to bust my balls working toward what could be permanent position. Pray for me as I work toward this.

Also, on a spiritual side.. I read a passage this morning that I feel is quite compelling. It is as follows:

James 4:10 (The Message)

7-10So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he'll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it's the only way you'll get on your feet.

I will leave it there for you to ponder.

Live long and prosper,

Mr. Awesome.
