Well, the hunt for a job has been pretty consuming recently. God has opened so many doors, and I have had interviewed at several places recently.
First, I interviewed at a Muslim school to teach K5. That would have been a very different experience, but a ministry none the less. They ended up choosing another candidate.
Second, I interviewed for 2 different types of jobs as Trinity Evangelical Divinity school ( where Tim will be attending school). On of the positions offered me a job as an academic assistant to several faculty members. We are still, considering this position. The pay may not be as good, but the location would be convenient and they would help with Tim's tuition as well as with mine if I go for my master's degree. I have to give them an answer by Wednesday 8/8/07.
Third, I interviewed for a position as a third grade teacher at a Lutheran school near down town Chicago. It is a ministry to families in poverty. The pay is decent, and the benefits are great. They would also pay 50% - 75% of a master's degree at Concordia University.
I have been called back for a second interview on Tuesday 8/7/07.
Lastly, I interviewed for a second grade public school position in Deerfield, IL (town where Trinity is). There is a possibility that we have found a loophole with the certification issue. The interview went very well and they said that they would let me know by early next week if there would be a second interview. They pay would be very good and the location would be ideal.
Sooo, now we are just waiting and praying and trying to make the best decision possible. I will try to keep you posted as to what happens. It is so good to know that God has already chosen what is the BEST place for me to work/minister. I just have to walk by faith to find it.

Great news (and yet, so many choices)! I will be praying for you! I will just reiterate what you said "It is good to know that God has already chosen what is the BEST place for me to work/minister." We have a great God who will place you exactly where you need to be!
Love you girl and miss you bunches!
Wow that's awesome! I'm so glad that you've got options! We'll be praying as you make your decision - hope you get what you need and what you'll enjoy too!
Praying for you and Tim every day. Love you so much!!! God is in control...no doubts.
julie,
i know you will do a great job wherever you go. God is so able to work things out for our good. love you and praying for you. i'm sure it is very difficult to make a decision (wednesday) while you are waiting to find out about the other ones. yipes! something that trav and i have done when we're faced with these types of decisions is to pray faithfully first (which i know you've done) and then just make a decision based upon your desires and ask God as you're deciding to please protect you from making a decision that would not please Him. i don't mean to sound like i know everything; it's just a way that the Lord has guided us in many different areas over the years we've been married.
love you, jules.
