Keeping My Fingers Crossed!

I apologize for the vague entry yesterday. I can now say more because 1) I know my closest friend at work doesn't want it and 2) I have now formally requested it.

I put in a request for a position teaching about World Cultures for the International Baccalaureate Programme, which I currently teach English for and am attending training for this summer in Atlanta. My passion is learning about other cultures-- foreign films, cuisines, books, travel. I feel like the job is hand-tailored for me and the best thing is, I learned today that the team I would be on (in middle school we have 2 teams per grade) has been trying to get me for some time. They told me that they have had their eye on me so they are pushing for this new position too.

The only reason I wouldn't get it is because the team I am on now is not as strong as the one I would be going to and our team leader says I am needed where I currently am too. I feel very loved, but really, I need to do this for ME.

I know in the end that whatever God wants for me will be, but I am praying that this works out. I really think I'd feel at home in this position. I want to teach about other cultures so badly. I just hope if it doesn't work out that I can go back to being reasonably content with where I am.

Now THAT would be a cool job! I wouldn't want the job myself, instead I would want to sit and learn from you! Cool. I'll be praying that you get it.
