Making the decision to move countries takes a lot out of you! In my process of applying for job after job, at times I have thought, why am I leaving a place I love ministering in? Then I go back in my thoughts to the conference I attended in Qingdao a year ago. The conference had the theme of rest, and I knew at that time I would sign a one year contract and head back to the states to take a ‘rest’ from living overseas for 7 years. At the time I didn’t tell people about this. I didn’t want friends to start distancing themselves when they found out I was leaving. This is something that makes living overseas hard…you never know when people will come and go. It’s now two weeks before heading back. I had an interview with a Christian school in Charlotte, NC. They offered me a position as a 7th grade teacher. I was ecstatic! When I received the email from the headmaster, I literally jumped up and down. The weight of searching for a job and interviewing was over. PTL! I was so relieved that I could now have good closure during the next 2 weeks.
