As most of you know, Eric is job hunting. It is exciting and nerve-racking all at once! We fasted TV for the month of January to ensure that this next life journey is God-centered. It was much easier than I thought it would be! It's amazing how productive you are when TV isn't an option. Rather than watching TV, we read books, exercised more, and of course, spent time in prayer together. After the month, we heard God telling us, "Okay, time to take action". We still don't have any clear vision of where to apply but we have faith that God will take care of that part by opening doors and closing others. Eric applied to one company this week with a job description that fits him to a key. His professor/boss recommended him for the position... and the best part is... it's right down the street in Billerica! Our heart's desire is stay in state where our family and friends are but, of course, we are willing to go wherever God calls us. We joke, and secretly hope that God calls us to Hawaii!
As for me, well, I'm stagnant until we decide where Eric will be. Because his job is more narrow and specific, we decided to let his next job be the deciding factor of our next move. We have faith that God will provide something for me. I decided to get certified in teaching English. Urban teaching is still a desire of mine and having that certification makes me more marketable. It is an online class that I have 6 months to pass. After taking the beginner course, I will be able to take the "Teaching Young Learners" course. I am excited to start studying!
We ask that you keep us in your prayers as we need to make a decision about our lease next Monday. Our lease is up and we have to decide whether to re-sign for the year or sign something shorter but more expensive. So our lives are a little bit in limbo, but we're excited about what's to come! Thanks for all of your support and prayers!
