You have no idea how GLAD I am that I can finally write this post!!!
You see, this is a story about a girl, a knee, God’s mercy, and His perfect plan.
You might remember that a month and a half ago, Chicky tore her ACL and, thus, ended her soccer career.
We were completely devastated.
Soccer was her life.
Then, a few days after the injury, Chicky got an opportunity to interview for a teaching job.
When she shared the news with me, I cried, and we talked about how, if she had not injured herself, she wouldn’t have been able to go to the interview.
So, she interviewed and got good feedback.
She toured the school and fell in love with it, the school’s philosophy, and the administration.
But she had to wait…
For a month…
Until she finished her internship…
Before she finally got the call.
It was the call that offered her the position as a 2nd grade teacher!!
We are all overjoyed.
Jobs are difficult to come by these days.
Chicky’s student debt is huge thanks to her private school tuition.
God is providing.
The thing that makes us even more grateful is the way God showed His mercy…in such a tangible way…so early into the trial she was forced to endure.
Life is full of difficult events that we must go through.
Oftentimes, we don’t see the good that He’s working…at least not immediately.
That’s not to say that He isn’t there working out the details.
I praise God that He did reveal Himself so early on.
I believe it was an act of mercy and compassion to begin healing Chicky’s broken heart over the unexpected end to her season.
My Chicky is officially a teacher.
I couldn’t be more proud or more thankful for God’s perfect plan.
