I don't understand.

I just e-mailed my new boss to tell him I can't start work today because I don't have anywhere to stay. So far everything has come up dry.

I feel like there is a huge wall keeping me from this job. It's becoming ridiculous.

I am no longer on the sub list for Ohio County, so I can't work while I'm waiting for housing in Thomas or Davis. I'm kind of stuck waiting again...

This is how I felt for my first two weeks back in the states. No job, and everything's up in the air. I also felt this way my 3rd and 4th week back because I never got called in to teach.

Sick of waiting. Learning patience.

I don't think I ever told you about where I'm going to work. It's called Alldredge Academy and it's a private secondary school for at-risk youth. The kids spend their first month in the wilderness learning how to become a search and rescue team. They go on call as a search and rescue team for a week and put their lives on the line to save the lives of others.
During phase two the kids live in an "african village" here in WV. The kids make their own drums, play in drum circles, talk alot about the Source, and participate in a lot of group therapy. The school uses a theistic approach to therapy, which is rare.
Phase 3 is a school phase. That's where I come in. The kids will attend classes and earn academic credit during the final phase. We push their buttons to test them before they go out into the real world. I will wear many different hats, meaning I will have a lot of different duties. I will drive the kids places, make sure they are all safe, document when they take their medicines, be part of a therapy team, do paperwork, and other stuff.

I'm really excited about the job. I'm allowed to share my faith with the kids. They are always hearing about the Source and I'm allowed to tell them that my source is God. I used to be one of these screwed up kids. God saved me from myself, from the darkness I was living in, and from eternal death. I want to help these kids find a new life through the grace and power of Jesus Christ.

I just need Jesus to tear down some ridiculous walls so I can go and start this mission.
