{Blessed}

Today out of all the words to describe how I am feeling 

{stressed, overwhelmed, exhausted, discouraged}

I feel the best one is quite simple. 

{Blessed}

{Background}

I am definitely a girl that has to needs to have a plan.

I like to know need to know what's coming next in my life and what I have to look forward to. 

When this ceases to happen, I stress. 

This has been my life lately. 

My current job ends in May.

I  have 14 weeks of {unpaid} student teaching in the next year and still have to pay for {life} and {school tuition}.

And I needed to figure out a plan to earn money when I am not student teaching, as I can't go a whole year without working. 

This led me to be stressed out of my mind, since about February. 

Yes, I know February to May is plenty of time to figure out a summer job.

But I'm girl that needs a plan.

And there wasn't one. 

I spent a lot of time coming up with different options, and applying to many different jobs. 

Only to discover the jobs I was applying to were looking to hire right away. 

I felt like my efforts were leading {nowhere}.

Causing me to be even more frustrated. 

{The Story}

Last week at work, my boss approached me and asked about my student teaching situation for the fall. 

As I informed him, his response was quite shocking to me. 

He informed me that he is willing to work with me and give me the {fourteen} weeks off I need for student teaching and I would be able to work at the school when I am not student teaching.

That leads to this week. 

Rewind to a month ago. 

I had a phone interview for a {summer} job and was told I would be contacted the end of March if summer help was needed. 

the end of March came and went. 

I sent an e-mail to follow up and was told there was still no decision. 

Being who I am, I assumed that meant it wasn't going to work out. 

Fast forward to today. 

 I got an e-mail asking to come interview for this {summer} position that just happens to last from the end of May, when my job ends, to August when school starts again. 

Oh, and did I mention it is a full time position?

Can you say perfect?

Yes, I know I haven't even interviewed yet.

I know the job is guaranteed to be mine, 

but I'm finally feeling {hopeful} as I am finally getting a plan together. 

There really is only word for these "chances."
