Hello ladies, I am working at a transitional living center for the homeless as a Intake Counselor. I love the work and the hours are 8-4. The pay is only 9.30 an hr,but it is a blessing. I have been working for 2 wks now. Also, instead of having my own business, which was not GOD's plan for me. My two work options that have kept coming around for me are therapist or teacher. After much thought and working as a sub in the schools. I have decided to pursue licensure for a Conditional license for Special Education teacher. I have signed up for the needed class for the license, class starts Jan.7 Sunday 2-5 here in Roanoke at a local college. I will need to take two state assessments but that is not a problem, will do that in the spring. I am so excited about this opportunity. I have alot of special education experience to offer to the students and parents. Also, at my age I need financial and job security, teaching will provide that for me. Carol and I are still dating and we had Thanksgiving together. If Carol's work schedule allows I will be going home to meet her family in NY. That is exciting and scary at the same time. It has been 6 months for us. She just bought a 2006 Honda CRV and we have planned some day trips for the spring. She has been supportive throughout my job search. She wanted to help me financially but I did not feel comfortable with that assistance.
I hope all is well with everyone and have a wonderful week. gracemae59

Great! Looks like things are looking up for you gracemae. God has a plan for you, maybe just not your own business, maybe this is more important for you.
And just in time for the holiday celebrating his son's birth.
Take care my friend. You will be fine.
Hugs,
Laurie
