Thank you for your prayers last Saturday while I took the subject area exam. As I waited for the instructor to hand out the exam, I prayed. Before I could pray more than, "Lord, I need you..." He answered me with several Bible passages. The call of Isaiah rang the loudest. The Lord God asks, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Then the Lord empowered Isaiah with all he needed. I felt God say to me that He is sending me out into this mission field. He will empower me with all I need. I won't know until after Dec 15th if I passed the exam or not. But through the whole exam, I felt God's peace and power. I'm trusting that I was able, through Him, to pass.

Several schools have posted vacancies for Language Arts in the last week. Each school now has a copy of my resume.

Today, I received an email from the state department of education. It says that my application is awaiting review but they are several months behind. Just now, they are processing applications from October. This email implies that it is humanly impossible for me to be certified to teach in January. I can not get hired by the public school system until the state processes my application and sends an official statement of eligibility for certification. At their current rate of review, the state will not get to my application until late January or February.

Still, I believe God is in this and He wants me teaching in January. I'm walking in blind faith here. It's a scary place to be. Doubt creeps in and asks, "Did God really want you to do this?" "What if God doesn't pull through? What will you do then?" My spirit is unwavering in confidence that I am following God.

God called the people of Isreal to march around a city in order to make the walls crumble. The people obeyed and just as God promised, the walls fell to God's glory. Now, an impassable wall stands between me and the place God has called me. Only He can bring that wall down. Will you be bold enough to pray with me for this miracle?

Pray for my application to the state to be processed in the next two weeks. Pray that a school hires me before the next semester begins.

Thank you for journeying with me. I can't wait until we are rejoicing together as God moves!

All for HIM,

Vicki
