So I realize that I haven't updated the blog in a while and I apologize for that. This past month has been pretty crazy. I started subbing (not sure if I talked about that in my last post) and that has been keeping me pretty busy. I told myself that I wanted to sub more days than not sub during the week (at least three days but most of the time four). It's been good, stressful I guess. It's hard when you go six months doing absolutely nothing, waking up whenever and coming and going as you please to having to wake up early and have real responsibility. I've been at Blocker (middle school) mostly. I'm currently in a three-day assignment subbing for eighth grade math in what I think is the worst team in eighth grade. Two of my classes have math both days (you're only supposed to have it once) and I have one regular class. I'm not going to lie, I've been pretty tired and my head has been hurting a lot these past couple of weeks. I don't know what it is. The week leading up to my trip to Austin was bad. I was having headaches and just feeling out of it. It's gotten better since then but today it sort of hit me again like a ton of bricks during my last period class. But, God did answer prayers today when I prayed that today would go smoother than yesterday. All of my kids want to cheat and they are the ones that failed the TAKS test. That's not going to do anything but not help them make it to the high school. It's going to be a reality check when that happens. Currently, they are at the top of the food chain but I wish they would realize that it's a long fall back to the bottom when you're a freshman.
In other news, Dad made it to the second round of the job process for this job at Valero. Apparently, this is the third that that he has made it this far, both times going past this round for the actual interview. Rumor is that if he can get an interview this time, the job would be almost sowed up. I've been praying about this everyday because I know how much this would mean to him to get this job. I really hope that he does get this. It would do a lot for the morale of the house and they could even buy a new house! If Dad were to get this job, they would pretty much be locked in here in Texas City which would be fine, I plan on moving back to Austin and I actually like Texas City in bits and pieces.
There's actually somethings brewing for me as far as the job hunt goes and for the time being. I'm still 100% doing the real estate thing but am looking for a part-time job in Austin to get me there ASAP. If it's part-time I can split time there and at the real estate office, learning and gaining knowledge on how to be a better real estate agent.
As far as Jesus goes, these past few days have been great. Church was great on Sunday and I've still been thinking about the sermon that I heard at Stone two weeks ago about having an enduring faith. I really want to have a faith that endures and that's been on my heart a lot these past couple of days. I know what could potentially lead me astray from the Lord and I need to work extra hard to recognize those temptations and make sure that I have accountability in my life. I'm going to try my hardest to endure whatever temptations, tests are thrown at my way.
What you can be praying for:
-This job opportunity in Austin. I won't say what it is because I don't want to give away too much information but it would pretty much be perfect for me and the time being.
-Subbing: That kids would be receptive to my requests. I think because I'm so young and because I look so young, it's hard for them to take me seriously.
-My Mom: she needs some joy in her life, I don't think she's happy
-My sister: she's going through some stuff with her "husband" and basically he's tripping out. She needs some intervention somehow. I refuse to get involved in any domestic disputes, haha
