{Answers to Prayers}

I know I haven't been very consistent at doing a "thankful" post every day. 

However, today I felt the need to as my heart is full of gratitude. 

Today I am thankful for the quiet answers to prayers that come in simple ways. 

Here's the story: 

So with student teaching this semester, I haven't been able to work (aside from my weekend side job) because student teaching is full time and I had classes on top of it. There was just no time to have a job too. 

Well, that means limited income.

I had this perfect plan that when student teaching was done I would sub until my next student teaching placement (in the spring).

Well I am on my 3rd week of being done with student teaching and haven't been able to sub because the sub class I need to take isn't until the 20th of November.  

Needless to say, it's been stressing me out because it is still a delayed source of income.

However, out of the blue today I received a phone call from a teacher looking for a long term sub while she goes on maternity leave. 

It would be a 6-8 week teaching job. 

IT is not until January; however, it just so happens that my student teaching in the spring is only 6-8 weeks, which means I could do both in the semester and still graduate in May. 

As I hung up the phone with this sweet lady, my heart filled with great joy and peace. 

It was a direct answer to my pray....as I had just prayed last night that some of my other sub applications would go through in other school districts so I could get a job. 

I am grateful to know that Heavenly Father hears my prayers and He answers them. 

No, this isn't the exact thing I was praying for, but I know Heavenly Father answers in ways that we need. 

That brings great joy to my heart. 

I am looking forward to this adventure. It will be a great experience!
