Nearing closer?

After much work in attempting to acquire a full time job in NYC, I finally did obtain a position with my current company. It seems to me to be a perfect fit for all involved. But I am still awaiting yet another meeting with the school board that will happen this Tuesday night at 6pm. I have met with a couple of groups from the board, but this Tuesday, I am told that they will once again 'reinterview' me with the entire board. The purpose of the meeting is for the board to decide yeah or nay for me as the principal of the school in question. I am thinking that I started this job search in October of 2007. Yes, indeed, superstar just confirmed that for me. After many interviews, phone calls, visits, exams, moving forward in the process emails, no thank you letters, etc., I did obtain my current position, and that was after 10 months of pursuit. After about 7 months or so working in the D, I was back and forth helping another principal with opening her school. And 3 months later, moving our family to Brooklyn. Now, after having served in my current role aiding the opening of a charter school in Brooklyn, I will go to this meeting with the board in hopes that this is indeed God's plan for my life.
If they give the green light on Tuesday, and one of the board members said they will not leave the building without a decision, there will be much work to do. MUCH WORK TO DO. All very exciting indeed. So pray that God will open the door if that is what He wants for us. And pray that my work will be light, even though there is much to do. Is it nearing? Will it be so this week? After 2 years and five months, will it be so? We will wait and hope in the Lord.

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

My Communication Arsenal

Let’s be honest, we all have moments of glory when we are communicating with others, and moments of incredible fall on your face failure.   I for one have always thought I was a relatively good communicator, and my perspective was that I could effectively communicate and engage with a variety of people from different cultures, backgrounds, ethnicity, upbringing, or what have you.   I have been a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, leadership development consultant, school improvement coach/facilitator, and done these things in a variety of areas in suburbia, rural districts, and even in Detroit, Flint, and Brooklyn.   But today, I came across this word arsenal .   I felt as if I was walking down the street of life and a sign with this word was in my path and I walked my face right into it – you know the videos you see online when someone doesn’t see the sign before they run their head into it?   And it was painful.   The pain came from the realization that I have an
