looking up

So, things are looking up. I was driving to Serrano's, the family restaurant here, and I looked up at the stars. Then I saw the mountains..the sky was changing into this indescribable purple colour at the horizon. And then I thanked God. He is so faithful. Even when I am so NOT! This week has been going so much better than last. I have met some really wonderful people, at Mark's (my brother-in-laws) restaurants, just hanging out. I have connected with lovely and helpful people at the church I have just started attending, and tonight, i went to a Career Network meeting at our church (yes, isn't that awesome?!) where we could hear some really good tips on looking for work, as well as advice in our individual situations. Just to know that I am NOT alone in this process helps tremendously. The counselor guy even gave our group a day-to-day activies guide for helping us plan out our days effectively, and I am now hooked up to this huge career network in the Boulder - Metro Denver area where I can post my resume and where my name might come up when people come across available teaching jobs. YAY!! There is hope. He also came up with a path I hadn't thought of before. To pursue my ESL license, wherein I can probably get a job more easily, and then work toward my goal of becoming Secondary English certified. What a great idea! Very practical.
And though I have been quite manic the past seven days I have been here, this feels like a steady incline. I hope it lasts!
