Hello!
Well, after a looooong string of emails, I think this will finally be the last because JONNY GOT A JOB! He was offered both jobs he interviewed for last week in Stayton & Salem. He accepted the Salem one, so he'll be teaching bio & chemistry at McCay High School. Its a very different place than Cascade. Instead of 700 students, there are 1800! There are also several security guards on site. It doesn't sound like we'll get to do our occasional lunch date in Daddy's classroom or participate in Take Your Kid to Work Day anymore. That part is a little bit of a bummer, but the good news is, its a pay raise and he can still help with Young Life at Cascade.
There is still a chance Cascade will offer Jonny his job back after their final budget meeting in a couple weeks, but unless they give him his steps back (they've been "frozen" for the last few years) we don't see how we can take it and turn down the Salem job that will be so financially helpful to our family.
It's been a confusing few months for us, and we don't know where God is taking us long term, but for a season it looks like God has opened the door for Jonny to teach at this rough school in Salem. Thank you SO MUCH for your prayers. God is good. So thankful He's given us such wonderful friends who storm the gates on our behalf.
Blessings.
