My realization

I don't consider myself religious. I do however believe that I am faithful. I don't feel the need to talk about my faith to anyone but myself, BUT this has been one hell of a year (I'll get to the faith in one minute...bear with me)!
It all began last June when we decided to move to Boston. Quick recap - got a job at Perkins, moved here, found a nanny, started teaching, fired said nanny and hired fabulous Chelsea! Now it "settled" down for a few months until I got the call telling me that I would be "let go" due to budget cuts. Once again I was in search of a new school. I found it in Boston Collegiate Charter. Now we're in the process of buying a home, moving, and all of us starting new schools (we're loosing Chelsea...another post to come).
Throughout this whole process I have turned to prayer. I have spent countless hours in conversation with Him looking for answers while questioning my journey. I have spent many moments in the little prayers..."Please give me the strength to do this well." AND I have come to the conclusion that, in my case, whenever I have asked for strength, patience, or integrity, He has given me opportunities to practice all of these. Really, did I think it would be easy?
Where does that put me now? Exactly where I should be!! I...am happy.
