Scott's New Job

God has really blessed us! We have been praying for a career change for Scott for sometime now. A few months ago, we felt that God was calling Scott to teach and coach. Scott has his bachelors but no teaching degree but we knew that he could apply for and test for his emergency certification. He applied for several positions with Pilot Point ISD but when we started checking into the emergency certification we hit a wall. The state board of education basically told us that there were only 3 ISD's in the state of Texas that could accept teachers with an emergency cert. so at that point in time we felt like maybe Scott wasn't supposed to do this teaching thing yet. About 2 weeks ago, Scott got a phone call from the Vice Principal at Pilot Point High School. They were looking for a chemistry teacher. That phone call has totally changed our lives! The last 2 weeks have been a total whirlwind as Scott has rushed to get college transcripts and sign up for the emergency cert. test, etc. He starts his job as the new chemistry teacher at Pilot Point High on Monday. He'll also be teaching a biology class. We were hoping he would be coaching as well but apparently God has other plans for us as we found out that he didn't get the coaching position as well. It's weird because I was a little disappointed simply because Scott really wanted to coach but I wasn't worried because I knew that God just had other plans. Say a prayer for Scott as he starts this new career. I think he's going to make a wonderful teacher! He'll take his emergency cert. test on September 8 and will work on his teaching certificate over this next year.
