It's been over a month since my last post and a lot has happened since then. At work I have been moved from trainer to trainer, so my schedule has been different every week for the last month. I have learned a lot and there is so much more to learn. There is just so much information in being a call-taker and dispatcher. You could probably go to school for a few years for it and still need several months of one on one training. It is fascinating, exciting at times, boring at times and I have a whole new appreciation for the police, fire and ems units out there.
Now my schedule is working Sabbaths. I honestly do not mind working in an emergency service on Sabbath occationally, however I really do not feel it right to do every Sabbath. I have talked it over with my training supervisor and she is going to see what they can do, but I am now wondering what God may be wanting me to learn or to do. He led me to this job, opened the door, provided an income, even opened up Sabbaths for me. Now I'm back to having all Sabbaths for the next few months and I've been getting a feeling, or impression, that God wants me to trust Him and do something different. I actually think He is telling me see, I can take care of you anywhere, but you belong working with children and in ministry. I miss working with youth. I miss being a part of my church family.
I'm really confused and frustrated and my heart feels heavy, as if it is breaking . . . like I'm not quite catching on to what He wants me to do now. I need an income, and yet . . . Lord please give me a sign, show me what I need to do now. I've begun the process of applying to schools for next school year, but in the mean time I just ask that my friends and family keep praying about this situation and that God makes it very clear what I should do in the next few days/weeks.
It is such a lovely Sabbath, and I wish that I could be worshiping with friends and family today. However, I will go to the call center and be there and maybe make a difference in someone's life today for the better. :)

Im glad your loving ur new job. Im praying for you Katie. It may be comfusing now, but when the time is right, God will show you His plan.
As for teaching, would that mean you would quit this new job? Would you be considering teaching in WI now that there will be education Dept changes?
YOur job really sounds interesting. Have you gotten a few calls that make your heart race? I want to be a firefighter/EMT and I bet that just being there at a scene would make my heart beat fast. lol
Take care and hang in there Katie. ((hugs))
