Lose My Soul...

School prep is this week. I'm sitting in a newly decorated, newly painted classroom. My own poster is by my desk (Upland Reservoir system this year) and the banner I made is in the hall. ("He's a Prayer Answering God!")

Plus I have TobyMac in my ear phones. What has brought this on?

Enrollment is down this year. Way down. As Pastor Rice put it on Wednesday, "the good news is that our teacher-student ratio is phenomenal this year."

I'm scared though. Seriously. I barely make enough to live on, and I will probably have to take a pay cut. Things are seriously tight at the school and I'm looking for more stuff to bring money in!

Oddly enough, I have been discovering a gift I have, one for sales. Last week I brought in 6 max assurances during the week and then 10 in one shift on Saturday. This does bring a peculiar issue.

I was hired to work in the copy center, but now am getting moved to sales in very short order. Roger (my manager) says I have skills they didn't know about. (well, neither did I)

THEN he offered me a full time job! As in, more then match the school and probably more.

I love teaching. It's never been a sacrifice to be in the ministry before, but it looks like its about to be. I'm spending days worrying about money and I will be working two jobs. I think Roger figures that if I get my pay cut enough they can get me.

*sighs*

Interesting to have two employers that want me!

So I am listening to Toby Mac and remembering THIS is why I came out here. Satan is just trying to distract me. Revival must be coming to the school this year!

School starts Monday. Pray for more enrollments.
