This past Friday I accepted a job at Tascosa High School.....go rebels!
I'll be teaching Algebra 2 to juniors! So fun! I spoke with the head of the math department for a while about why Algebra 2??? I honestly was worried about having been out of the classroom for 10 years and how much studying would I have to do to teach this? She was very comforting and communicated great faith in me. She said that their department plans together so I'll never feel alone in trying to figure how to teach something. After hearing her thought process on the assignment, I felt really comforted and felt like it would be a great fit and that she was really seeking to set me up for success. She also said "one day, Robyn, I'll tell you the story of how much of an answer to prayer you are to me". More confirmation.
So, the funniest and surprising part is that I will also be one of three cheerleader sponsors. Ha! So not at cheerleader...but it came with the job and a super small stipend. The more it think about this the more I see it as having a discipleship group assigned to me. So fun! I am excited about being in their lives and, Lordwilling, influencing them for Christ. Mark is really excited about it to...he loves attending sporting events and he said the kids would really enjoy it too...especially Addison who has a fetish for cheerleaders already. Great family bonding ahead! Mark is already talking about getting her a Tascosa cheerleading outfit. Hilarious.

The school is about three miles from our home....Kyler will be in school adn Addison will be in all-day pre-k. We'll be busy when school starts, but it is all a blessing.
I do feel like this assignment is from the Lord in so many ways. It is a gift that I have a job before the wedding. One less thing to be anxious about. Thank you Jesus!
