Prayers are needed...

Well, after 7 years of teaching I am displaced and will need to pick from a list of open positions next week. The scary thing is that I think there is a slim chance I won't have a job. Everyone tells me I will but I don't know. I just need to have faith that God has a plan for me. As I walk down this path I just need to give it all to Him. That is difficult though. So please pray for peace of mind and clarity of mind as I choose, if I'm able, a job next week. This is very scary for me. I know that this is what I need though at this time. I've been teaching 7 years and I think it's time to try some new things and I just pray that I'm able to be somewhere with people who will make me think and challenge me.
I also need prayers for my aunt who is battling breast cancer. We found out yesterday that the genetic testing was denied by the insurance, a $3k test. We really need this test to know if they need to do further treatments or surgeries so the doctor is writing a letter, please pray that this will be approved and she can learn the results. Pray that she is strong through this and also for the family. This has been very tough on us, Marj is so strong and I just want her to know that she can hand it over to our gracious God and he will provide and take care of her. She means so much to us and it has been tough on me knowing all that she has gone through and will have to go through. ***A little side note, my wonderful husband sent me flowers this week becasue of my struggles and that he forgot to set my alarm and I was late to school, well I beat the kids but barely.
We're off to TC for the weekend, hope the weather is nice. 4 days of work left!!!! I can't believe the school year is coming to an end. Busy week ahead, packing my classroom, saying good bye to 28 5th graders, a facial, and oh yeah picking a job for next year.
