Options, Choices, and BIG Decisions

Just got back from the Chicago area, little update...

Visited both DeMotte and Timothy Christian schools and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. They have very similar missions, but are also very different in their makeup. Urban vs. Rural, Variety of subjects vs. the same subject, large school vs. small school, and I could go on... My honest opinion on both of them...excellent schools, both have their definite pros as well as cons to living/teaching there.

Those are the options...and as of now, I also have choices as both schools offered me a job.

Now comes the big decision, which won't be an easy one, but I almost feel as if I can't go wrong in which one I decide. I have felt all along that God has provided us with opportunities to enter a school/community that knows what its mission is and is very welcoming. Which I believe is a good dilemma to have, I just wish it wasn't driving me crazy. I know I have leaned one way and then the other already and it hasn't even been a day since interviewing.

I know that God has a plan for us (especially since we made it through Chicago with a sellar GPS... A.K.A-Girl in Passenger Seat) Sorry Linds...I had to:) It was a bit of an adventure driving through somewhere Chicago after we weren't sure which exit we needed to get out of there Monday night after flying in, but we made it eventually. I think the bullets only skimmed the tires and scared the rest of the drug dealers away, which was a good thing. (Again kidding, it wasn't that bad)

Pray for us as we attempt to make a decision as to where God will be able to use us best in the lives of my future experiments (students) and Linds' future (wherever that may be, as long as it doesn't start with "Hi, welcome to McDonald's, how can I help you?")

It's 10:00 at night and I'm running on all cylinders...I could keep going, but I better get to lessons, and sleep, and watching the weather in hopes that the 10 inches of snow forecasted goes away...fast.

So long everybody...
