The thing I have come to realise so much over the last few years of my life is that everything in our lives happens at the perfect time - the perfect moment in time.... not our own timing but all in God's timing.
What we desire and dream for our own individual lives, what we have individually worked towards (at the same time as others) may not give us the results we need when we think we need them but it will give us the results we need we God knows we need them.
As humans we are quick to jump to conclusions and give up on our dreams and desires when things do not work out the way we want them to when we want them to - it seems much easier than sticking it out and waiting for the real 'right time' to achieve what we have been waiting for.
Just because things have not worked out the way I have wanted them to this year with my studies and things have not happened in the right times that I have expected and thought I have needed them to happen, does not mean for one second that I need to give up on my dream of being a teacher. Things are now working out perfectly and I am having the most amazing experience on practicum - this time I have no doubt I will pass and it will all be in God's timing.
So many people I have gone through university with seem to be getting teaching jobs for next year already and here I am sitting here and thinking am I not good enough? I'm wondering where god is in all of this and then I suddenly realise after talking to a good friend today that to be honest it is perfectly fine I don't have a job yet - Yes granted I would love to know I have a secure job for next year but at the same time, clearly it has just not been the right time or the right place with the jobs I have applied for so far - for goodness sake I am still on practicum and still have another five weeks of experience to go before I feel I will be ready for my own class.
When will I have the chance to go for the right job? When will I finally get an interview for a teaching job? I'm not sure how long or how far away it will be but one thing that I am sure of is that it will all be in God's timing.
It may not be tomorrow, it may not be next week, it may not even be before the end of the year, then again it might be but when it does happen it will be perfect because I know it will be all in God's timing. When the job offer comes, I will be overwhelmed, will be excited, happy, feel secure, feel scared for what lies ahead and also most grateful and appreciative for what I would have learned throughout the application process and how much I would have grown in my faith and my relationship with God as well as with my husband.
Congrats to those who already have secured teaching jobs for 2013 and to those of you who are in a similar boat to myself, just remember its all in God's timing!!
Keep watching for All in God's timing future updates and that all amazingly perfect teaching job notification.
