Even during down times there is always something to do. But it would be a new challenge and if you aren't trained to teach music maybe you would feel more successful? There are certainly challenges with both options.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9712101.post-1143647651505617742006-03-29T07:54:00.000-08:002006-03-29T07:54:00.000-08:00Sounds like very tough decisions which can feel ho...Sounds like very tough decisions which can feel horribly overwhelming but exciting at the same time. <BR/><BR/>There is also the fact that no matter what, as long as you are doing your best you are in God's will. As long as your heart is in serving Him, He will open the doors and you will be in the right place. <BR/><BR/>Don't let yourself be overwhelmed. Think and pray it over.

As Heather said, you may be surprised that it may not be as hard/time consuming as you're thinking b/c you've been there for three years and have the overall "teaching" under your belt...just thoughts. <BR/>And will be praying for you :)Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02991492460606186731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9712101.post-1143582989332089362006-03-28T13:56:00.000-08:002006-03-28T13:56:00.000-08:00I think you shouldn't let your fears stop you.

You're in a tricky position because you've already been a first year teacher and so you know what it's like...it's hard to go back to that (I'm having the same thoughts right now - I've been out of teaching for a year and not sure I want to start over again). BUT, the plus is that in fact you already HAVE BEEN (past tense) a first year teacher before. I think you'd be heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189681765878198476noreply@blogger.com
