Pay Cut for Peace of Mind

Good news!! This week the school hired a second English teacher to take all my grammar classes!! It is really a miracle from God and I'm honestly surprised administration has been so gracious. I hadn't yet told them my class load was too much for me, and one day I came to my breaking point. I honestly felt the only way to escape the weight was to go home, so I prayed that God would send a miracle to change something about my situation, saying, "Please, send someone to my door, have someone come to me with help".

The next day, 3 of my supervisors showed up at my front door and told me, "We know you need help. That is why we have posted an add for a second English teacher to come share your load of classes." I was dumbfounded. That was about 3 weeks ago.

Now, starting Monday, I will be relieved of 12 grammar classes. All of them. And the one taking my place has taught grammar for 20 years!!

God answers prayer and I definitely feel rescued. I am excited about getting to focus on just Literature and Spelling classes now, and I already feel more like myself again.

"For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'" - Isaiah 41:13
