Well, I found out today that I did not get the job. I'm not sure who it went to yet, although I can almost be certain it was to someone with more experience. I know it was a long shot: a first-year teacher, a 4-5 combo, in 2 languages. But I have never wanted, nor imagined wanting, something so much. Needless to say, I'm heartbroken... quite literally. I fell in love with the school, the kids, the idea of working there but God has a different plan. I know that and I trust it but I wish that wasn't the case. I'm confused and a little at a loss of what steps I take next. God is so good at knowing what I need to learn: patience, surrender and grace through it all. Please continue to pray if/when you think of it. And know that I am so very grateful for all of your prayers and encouragement up till now. It has meant so much. I'm sorry to be such a downer in this one... believe me, I was definitely hoping it would be a pose of excitement! Even still, I look at what God has done in my family just this year and am slapped in the face with how faithful He is. Thank you, dear friends. I love you all.

Hil, I am sorry you didn't get that job, I know how much you wanted it. I am sure you are surrounded by people saying encouraging things, so instead I will be your friend that says that absolutely sucks and I am sorry to hear it! It is so hard when the things we want most fail to materialize. I hope tomorrow is better. Love you!
Hooded Hil- I agree with Kacey. But I will also say that those people don't know what they're losing, cause I think you'd be the best dual-immersion teacher they've ever seen! Love you!
