God is DEFINITELY into Details

God's timing is remarkable. Last Tuesday night I was making up some work that I had neglected b/c I am a ridiculous procrastinator sometimes. I was working in the coffee shop...I don't remember why...and ended up talking to a friend from high school who is a Teaching Fellow with me--Joanna Dickerson (girl, just so you know, God used you in a BIG way). She informed me that she had heard that Palmetto Middle School had money to start a volleyball program for the past two years, but did not have any one to Coach the team. Being the lover of volleyball that I am, I HAD to find out if this was true (no offense Jo..I just wanted to make sure they were still looking).
So...Saturday I got up the courage to email the Palmetto Middle School Principal to find out if it was true. I was just expecting a short little email back sometime this week, but God came through in a BIG way.On my way back from shopping this afternoon I received a phone call from the Student Teaching coordinator--I figured that she was just calling to confirm my student teaching placement at Southwood Middle School. Much to my suprise she proceeded to tell me that I had the opportunity to student teach at Palmetto Middle School, and--according to my student teaching performance--possibly take the place of a teacher who has to leave in December AND become the new volleyball coach!
For those of you who know me well, you know that I quit volleyball after my sophomore year of college b/c I felt as if God were calling me in a new direction. It was one of the most difficult decisions of my life, but God is now rewarding me for that decision with many new open doors. Praise God for his timing and his faithfulness. He continuously blows me away. With that...I'm out, like pout...without the "P"
