Thought I'd update everyone as to what's going on in my job life. As I mentioned, I am set to serve as the Bowie High School Choral Director for the coming year. I'm excited about this opportunity, and have spent some time this week in my new classroom doing the whole "visualization" thing, as well as some cleaning and organizing. There's a huge amount of knowledge that I'm realizing I will have to bone up on in the next month to be successful, so I'm starting now. My last high school was a school of 250 or so. Bowie is 3000. There's a bit of a learning curve there! Uniform rentals, Booster Clubs, UIL rules, oh...and music. So I've got a bit of work to do!

In addition to Bowie, most of you are aware that God has laid it on my heart to serve in music ministry full time in a church. There is a church in Aubrey, TX that has spoken to me about an open position. This came at about the same time as Bowie, so God has blessed Naunie and I with a sudden abundance of opportunity, but choices had to be made in defference to what we know currently. We will be visiting with this church tomorrow (Friday), so I would appreciate prayers for discernment and clarity of understanding of His will in our lives as Naunie and I meet with the pastor and current worship pastor of the church. There are many, many doors that need to open fully for a clear understanding of where God wants us right now.

Naunie is hard at work on her two online classes for the summer. After two weeks, I have decided that online is maybe not the best way to take master's classes...she has about 500 pages worth of reading and posting with classmates online. Quite a task, I think. Naunie's been reading or at her computer pretty much nonstop this week, clocking in 10 hour days. on summer break. I know she's exhausted, so please pray for her strength and perseverance as she has another three or four weeks to go!

Life is moving, as you can see. We simply hang on and let God take us on our ride!

God Is Able,
Jermaine
