There have been many things happening lately. The fall is usually a time of change in my life, but this year it appears to contain more change. I got a call a few days ago from a woman who wants me to tutor her children in English. So, thanks to a recommendation from Megan :), I now have a tutoring job! It's four hours a week - 2 on Tuesday and 2 on Thursday. I am excited to start! Teaching English as a second language is something that has piqued my interest for a little while and this will be an opportunity to explore it and hopefully it will help me gain some valuable teaching experience. So, if you think of it, please pray for wisdom and patience and all of the things necessary for making a positive difference in the lives of the children I will be helping. Like I said before, I am excited, but I am also nervous :S.
I have a restlessness in my bones of late... I have a desire to travel and break from the routine that ties me down. I've been looking into various options and the response has been unimaginably positive. I got a call from Marco of the Continental Singers asking me if I was still interested in becoming a part of their program and asking me to give him a call back. I have yet to do that, but I'm thinking I might. I have also been considering becoming an au pair. I have received a few emails from interested families in many different places - from Barrie, Ontario to London, England. So many things have been happening... It really feels like I'm on the edge of a big change. Today someone said something to me that got me thinking even more. I still don't know whether it was serious or not and, until I do, I'm not really in any position to make any decisions or conclusions about it.
As the title of this post suggests, I'm pondering. I've got an awful lot to ponder over the next little while. I'm extremely relieved that I'm not in charge here. It's reassuring to know that God is taking care of all of it, even when I feel like I'm on the brink of a tsunami of change. For now, I am content to sit back, quietly observe what's happening around me, and enjoy the ride.
Surf's up!

How did the tutoring go? I'm sure you'll be great at it. You interact so well with children and your such a great listener. Traveling sounds like so much fun. It would be great if you could take a semester off and go somewhere just to do something different and see a bit more of the world. I really want to travel, too; I'm excited to see what I can do once I have a teaching degree. I hope your week is going awesome.
