We are Here to be Used!

So this past week has been very emotional in the Pitts household.   Alot of tears by Tiana and Mike sometimes looking at me like huh? You ok?  Are you crying?

About two years ago, I applied to Principal Fellows.  Last year around this time I had found out I didn't get it and that the reason they gave me wasn't exactly accurate.  That's a long story and I really don't want to dwell on the negative.  

So, God takes you through things like this to teach you something for sure.  I didn't know it but God wanted me to experience the failure in my eyes so that he could reveal himself to me in another way.  To make a long story short I got a phone call by the program in December asking me to submit a addition to my application from the previous year.  I prayed about it and sent in my addendum.  In March, Mike and I traveled down to Chapel Hill for my interview with a panel of principals throughout  NC.  I walked away from the interview knowing that God was in control and if this is what he wanted for my life he would make it happen.  I received a letter in late April that I was selected for the program.

This brings me to now.  Two days ago I closed my classroom door to pursue Administration.  It's been a really hard week knowing this was the last time I would have a classroom, teach math to middle schoolers, and leave my Mendenhall family.  I wrote letters to my dearest friends at Mendenhall and shed a lot of tears of joy and sadness.  The night before the last day of school was ironically the first night that I was meeting other Fellows.  We went through ice breakers talking about our experience, family, hobbies, and lastly the reason we wanted to become an Administrator.  It was perfect for me to be reminded by God why I was ending a chapter in my life to start a new chapter.   I want to become an Administrator because God has put a hunger in me to impact lives.  I'm so very thankful that I have had the opportunity to impact and be impacted by many middle schoolers, volleyball players, and kids at church.  God has called me to not stop but impact more.  He has equipped me with an amazing opportunity where the state pays for my education.  God knows what he is doing! His timing is Always PERFECT!! I'm telling you that he constantly reveals his power, love and covering through situations like this.  He does this for me and I'm telling you he can do it for you.  He's good!

We are so excited about where God is taking us.  Mike is such a great support! We know God has big plans for us as individuals and most of all as a family.  We are ready to be used by Him!!
