prayer request::UPDATED

I just found out that the summer start date for one of the programs I teach in (the one that is my main source of income in the summer) is June 28th (I had assumed it would be July 5 because of past years). Because I will not return until July 1st, I was first told I would not be able to work in July (they only allow one day absence in the closed intensive ELP programs). Additionally, not working in July lowers my priority for getting classes in August...

I was later told that it was possible they might make an exception, if enrollment is high enough, and allow me to miss the first two days if I could be there for July 1st. However, after some thought I went in today and said it would be best not to schedule me in the intensive program in July considering I won't be in San Diego until close to 2AM on July 1st... I have no idea how I am going to be feeling or what "processing" my time in Haiti is going to be like, but I'm pretty sure it isn't the smartest idea to expect to be able to walk into a classroom for 8AM on July 1st...

I'm scheduled to teach one night course in a different program beginning in July, but for that month it would only add up to 3.5 hours a week of work; this means virtually no income coming in until September (God willing, I could have work in August, as I'll be here for the start date for the second session of the intensive program).

So, please pray that all of this will somehow work out... God has provided for everything ahead of time for me to go to Haiti, I have to trust that God will again provide for life after if He wants me there... during my talk with them today it sounded very positive I'll get some hours beginning in mid-July with a couple of the closed programs that are starting at that time and if enrollment goes as predicted August should be fine (they can never guarentee, but that is pretty typical of my usual work situation).

Walk by Faith, right?

On a positive note, I have been notified that my contract for Mesa this Fall has been submitted for 60% FTE (the most an adjunct is allowed to teach). I'll have to get work authorization for that in August, but it is a blessing to know that there will be work in the Fall...
