"It wouldn't have been this easy to move down here if it had been our idea."

I have believed for some time now that God wants us in Texas.  Everything came together quite smoothly; I had two jobs within a few weeks of being in town, we got cheap rent quickly, we were able to buy the Tahoe and now the Jeep.
Lately, however, I have been wondering how long God intends for us to be here.  I am torn between my desire to be near my family, and my desire to see things through here.  Last week I was offered a full time job at East Elementary as the first grade teachers' aide, and I am so excited about it!  Real, regular paychecks, benefits, summers off with pay, paid sick days...I've never had a job like this before, and I wouldn't be able to even apply for a similar position in Oregon without another two years of school.  I can't wait for September. 
In the meantime, of course, we have to get through the summer either without my income, or I need to find another job, pronto, and I have no idea where to even look.  I still have never had to go job hunting; jobs always fall in my lap.  Maybe that will happen again, but it's hard to trust to luck right now, because our cheap rent is running out.  We have until May 18th to find a new place, and there is absolutely no way we will find anything for $250/mo.  We wrote out a budget and so far we've managed to stick to it, but we are budgeted out to the last dime, like the young'uns that we are.  Two car payments, insurance, gas for a Tahoe...it all adds up quicker than you can say "fried chicken".
Anyway, I guess that's why it's called faith, right?  I still believe that we are supposed to be here, in Texas, and I suppose all I can do is continue to live under that assumption until such a time as we are shown a different path.
I would be very glad to end up back in Oregon some day.  I want my children to know their family, and I miss my people over there, but I hope to have a few more adventures before that happens.  Like being a teacher's aide.  That will be an awfully big adventure.
