Disappointment

I know there were a lot of people who were praying for my interview today, so I thought I would post the events of the day, in order not to repeat the story many times. For those of you who didn't know, through a connection at a party I got an interview at a small town magnet school that just opened. The area was a nice enough, directly in between Rock Hill and Columbia.

I think the interview itself went fine enough, I was charismatic, energetic, and full of ideas. Of course you always want to be yourself while telling them what they want to hear. It's a delicate balancing act and I felt like I was on a high wire act at Niagara Falls. Luckily I walked out with no visible sweat stains.

However I also walked out with a twinge of disappointment. Towards the end of the interview I asked what vacancies they expected to have, and the principal told me they may have one in 3rd grade, but they weren't sure. My heart fell then, realizing that the hypothetical life I had already planned in this small town was as close as a Canadian snow man.

So I'm disappointed, a little deflated, and slightly bummed. I know the summer is far from over, and there are still potentially many jobs and interviews that might open up before Jon and I ultimately have to decide what to do with ourselves come August. Most importantly I know God's plan is still in place, and we are anxious to see how it plays out for us. Please continue to pray.
