I’ve decided to take part in the Scrap Your Faith challenge at Scrapper’s Zone.  Our first assignment was to scrap a time when God answered your prayers. 

Kit is Feel the Nature by Jassi Woschek

The journaling is hard to read on the layout so I have rewritten it below:

In the summer of 2005, I felt God calling me to leave the school I had taught at for two years to go to a private school that paid a lot less. After much thought and prayer, I decided it was time to go, but the private school was not hiring. Why would God tell me to go somewhere if there was no job available? So assuming I had misunderstood God, I put my resume’ out at many local schools. The local elementary school called to tell me that they were interested in me but again never hired me. By mid-June, I was frustrated because in our districts, most teachers are placed before June 15. Then, July came and the private school called to tell me I was hired for a sixth grade position.   The very next day, I went to resign from the public school system only to find out that I had two other job offers. My decision was so hard to make but my husband said, “If God called you yesterday, then He is still calling you today.” So I resigned and took the pay cut. It othered me in August knowing what I had given up to do what God called me to do. But He proved faithful and true as always, because by mid-October the other two jobs I would have received were already cut from the budget and the teachers let go.
