the latest on the job front

What's the news on the job hunt? I had an interview yesterday in Sun Prairie for their alternative high school. I didn't know much about the school when I went into the interview, so I asked them just about as much as they asked me. Turns out the school is pretty small (3 full time teachers, 45 students). It sounds like a cool school, but I'm not sure it's for me at this point. But I don't have to think about making that decision until I get a phone call from them.

Coincidentally, my typing this was interrupted by a phone call from Oregon (the city in WI, not the state), and now I have an interview there this coming Tuesday. That's very good news.

And in the realm of me being a bit of an eclectic person, I am also in communications with an independent boarding school 20 miles west of Boston. I might even get to fly out there this summer to check it out. It's a context for a school that I've never come close to experiencing, but that makes it wildly appealing at the moment. I feel that I could take a break from wisconsin life for a few years and experience the east coast and this element of boarding schools, and then happily come back to "home."

But it's all up in the air yet. I just have to wait to see which one of the paths my feet end up falling onto. --And that truly is what if feels like -- I'm not making decisions anymore, now I'm just following whatever falls into place. I'm definitely operating on the belief right now that I can't make the wrong choice, and that no matter where I end up this fall, God will do his work in me and with me through that situation. Faith, patience, trust, and wisdom are the virtues I'm avidly seeking these days.
