On June 22nd, I missed a call on my cell. Nathan, David, Daniel and I had been to Chick-fil-A for breakfast and a morning of errands. I got into the car pulled my phone out of my pocket and it showed that Abilene High School had called. After listening to the message, I returned the call to the Principal's secretary. She blew me away with her news. She told me Mrs. Kim Farmer wanted to interview me to be her secretary. I thought through the following Monday, and told Mrs. Drake, I could come for the interview at 11:00 a.m. Kim and I have been friends for about 13 years.
A week went by and the following Thursday I received a call from Mrs. Farmer telling me to put my working clothes on. My response was, "Are you serious?" The enemy had me convinced that I had not gotten the job. Thank You Jesus for blessing me with this new postion. This job makes up for the pay cut that Nathan took in going to ATEMS. Officially, he did not really take a pay cut, but he did give up some of his extra duties that went along with being the AP Lead science teacher here in Abilene. With all of our medical expenses over the last year this is a wonderful blessing. It is also a blessing to have a desk job that will not involve moving books and equipment with the risk of hurting my back again.
My big job will be substitutes. Crazy mornings here I come.
