I have had a burning desire to become more involved in the church for longer than I can even remember, but I didn't know how.
Today, I was again browsing through the site for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles as well as the website for my specific parish and I could find nothing to aid in my search. Then, I noticed a number to the Parish office. I called the office and the receptionist asked if I was a registered member of the church. I was like, "uh, no..." and she asked me to come in.
I have been attending St. Joseph's for nearly a year and never once thought to register as a member of the church....0_o
anyways, to make a long story short, I went into the parish office and was asked how I want to get involved to which I responded "I don't care. I just want to get involved. I don't care how!"
I was then told that they were looking for teachers for religious education. I was like "that is perfect!" so....
I will be going to observe this wednesday, then they will put me as an assistant in a teacher's class. Then, this summer I will be trained and they will give me own classroom.
I am so excited. This is what I feel I am being called to do...at least, part of what I am being called to do. I evenutally want to be a teacher in the Catholic school system.
I want to serve God everyday in everything that I do, including my profession. I want to glorify him with every breath that I take, with every action, with every word I speak.
I know I am a little excited. I can't help myself.
Please pray for me that everything works out for me so that I am able to do this. Working retail means flexibility, but I don't know if I will be able to get Wednesday evenings off...like I need. God willing, everything will work out.
