This past Saturday, Jenn interviewed for a job at a new magnet high school in town. This morning, they called and offered her the job! She will be teaching English at a small high school designed to equip students to be more ready for the work force by the time they graduate. It is a great opportunity for her to be in on the ground level of a very creative way of doing high school.
This new development means a couple things for our family. One is that we will be taking our house off the market. By refinancing and cutting some costs, we will be able to afford our home--staying in our neighborhood will be good as well as keeping our house which has been a great place to host friends and church events. Having Jenn teaching full time will also mean that I get to facilitate the day to day life of our family. I'll be taking kids to school and keeping up with the house. While I've never worked in such a domestic capacity, the flexibility of the schedule will allow me to manage my pastoral duties during school hours.
This is great news for us and an incredible answer to prayer. Once again, God has been faithful to us as we've deepened our commitment to do whatever is necessary to follow through with our calling in Durango.
