Job Offer!

After 3 months of wondering if I went to Rwanda just for a joy ride, I get an email from KICS offering me the position for the art teacher! My emotions were and still are all over the place. I had gotten to the point that I was accepting the fact that I would probably not be going to teach in Rwanda next year. I started applying to schools around Indiana and not seeing anything come of it until last week. I got phone calls from the only 2 schools I applied to in Indiana asking for an interview. After I got those calls, I got the email from KICS! All in one week! Opportunities don't always come all at once, but this time they did. So, I had these interviews last week at 2 different high schools in northern Indiana, with the knowledge that Rwanda had a spot waiting for me already... My heart has been so confused. I have spent the last 2 weeks praying about whether God would have me go. It's a tough thing to grasp, leaving everything and everyone I know and love, to move across the globe where I will have to learn how to live a different life altogether. My heart stops when I think about it that way. But when I think about the desires of my heart and how God has placed in me a heart for the world, I can't help but be excited. Since I have started a relationship with Christ, I have desired to go on missions and live with reckless faith, following wherever God leads. I know God would teach me more than I can imagine if I go to Rwanda. I feel that he has a whole new story waiting for me there. Sometimes I imagined turning down the opportunity and just living in Indiana as a teacher, and I don't have peace with that. It would be a fine choice, and God would certainly be present in my everyday life, but my heart would still be yearning for God's calling me to missions. So, I accepted the job offer! Now, I will begin the process of getting stuff together to teach and move to Rwanda! I will be in Rwanda by August 2! Stay tuned for more information soon :D
