Keep Me in Prayer

Hello readers. I'm sorry that it's been so long. Not much has been going on. April has just mainly been work and spending time with Darius. Well, there are a couple things of note.

The first was CCB convention. That was a fun weekend away from work. I got there late Thursday and saw the end of the board meeting. Then I went to hospitality where I was supposed to co-sponsor and wasn't allowed to help. That was really frustrating! Friday I overslept and missed a really important meeting. *Sigh.* I went to look at the exhibits and it was interesting. I had lunch and went to the general session. It was pretty cool. Then I went to the President's Dinner and we talked about the stereotypes associated with blindness. The next session changed my life.

At the session, one of the parts was an election. Sadly, one of the board members had passed away before his term finished. He was a really nice person from what I recall. I didn't know him very well unfortunately. Well, the election took place. I and three others were nominated. I was so scared. I really wanted to be on the board. In the first round, two were nominated. I and the other man were separated by half of a vote! We had another runoff. I won by a lot of votes! I couldn't believe it. It was wonderful! I'm officially on the state board.

Saturday was the BSC meeting. That was pretty exciting in itself. We had three speakers. Two were fabulous and one was a little full of himself. I won't mention any names. We elected a new board. Someone actually came from the blind California to cover our meeting. What an honor! Then I went and did the chairing duties for resolutions. It's really interesting to do. We were all insane. You have to have a sense of humor. We actually finished earlier than usual. I went to Governmental Affairs and the banquet. At the banquet, membership awards were presented. We won an award for percentage of growth. It was amazing! BSC is awesome! Hospitality was good too. I actually got to help!

Sunday I went to the devotional service and sang. General session was fun too. I was able to co-chair and do some of the resolutions. They were impressed by my reading ability. I went on the Greyhound which was a long ride.

I went back to work and did well. This week was bad though. I went to work on Monday as usual. I went to the staff meeting and third and fourth periods. At the end of fourth period, I was called into the office. I was really worried. I always hate going in there. She said that a lot of people said I was sleeping during third period. I said no. It turned into an investigation. I haven't been at work for the last three days. I miss my students. I was originally supposed to be back at 8 A.M. tomorrow. She called this morning saying that I need to come back at 2 P.M. What the heck does that mean? I know I have to meet with HR tomorrow because they want to take my statement. I just hope that that's simply the first time Carlos has available. This is where the title of the post comes into play. Please keep me in prayer. I've been on three job interviews and two went horribly. They said that a blind person wouldn't qualify. The last interview was a lot of fun and I think it went really well. I'm just waiting to hear back from him. I'll know by tomorrow. Well, I'll know whether I have a second interview. Please keep me in your prayers. I'm going crazy here. I keep thinking about the whole "to think is to create" and I think that I'll still be working there. It's hard because Darius keeps voicing those damn doubts in my mind and it's making me more nervous. I know God will help me. I just don't know how and when. Think some good thoughts and prayers for me. I'll post again tomorrow.
Peace and love to all,
Leena
