Hoping for a Job

I'm so happy to share what God is doing with us!

So, Wesley's Mom, Diana, contacted a friend of hers, to ask if she had any available positions at her school on behalf of Wes. Guess what? She did! Wesley speaks with the friend, Linda, on the phone and she tells him about this position: It's a charter school that needs a science teacher who will also need to lead the robotics club. Here's what we really love- he'd teach on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Fridays are meeting days, and Wednesdays and Mondays would be free days to plan lessons and grade homework. The days the students are not in school they are being homeschooled by their parents.

Now I'm sure some of you are thinking, well doesn't Wes have a teaching credential for English? Yes he does, but it is very easy to take another test to qualify as a science teacher as well. Wes was already planning and studying for the science exam to make himself more available as he looks for a teaching position. It's so great seeing how God had already planted that seed in his heart!

So, they will not be interviewing until June, but we feel excited about this. We would love to have your prayers and support in this.

We are also glad to tell you that Wes has a substitute position that will last until the end of the school year. The staff at the school really like Wesley... there's even a slight possibility that they ask to keep him on permanently.

Other going ons in the Warner household:
Amara has cut her first teeth! I can't wait to see what she looks like with a toothy grin.
Asher is starting to speak a little more clearly. She is also in love with hugging us! We are just eating up her affection... she's such a sweet heart.
Hero recently told us that she wants to start a dance class with her friends. She said she would like to teach girls her age to give their hearts to Jesus. Hero has such a beautiful heart and is always surprising us.

Who We Are

We are the Warner's and it's our desire to highlight what is going on in our lives for our friends and family that are unable to see us all the time. We want you all to feel like you're apart of our life. So this is currently who we are:

The head of our family is Wesley. He is currently on the hunt to be a teacher and in the mean time is substituting. Wes plays the guitar, works in the garden, is a walking jungle gym, a great friend, a leader in the College and Jr. High group at our church, an amazing father, and fantastic husband.

I am Wesley's helper and compadre. I am currently in the middle of a rigorous program to get my doctorate in being a wife. I plan on receiving my certificate at the gates of heaven. ^_^ I am an avid reader, good friend, housekeeper, Sunday school teacher, and fun mama.

Hero Mercy (who is also known as Sugar Monkey and Princess) is our oldest daughter. At just 4 and a half she is full of so much love. She has a gift of caring for her two younger sisters, who she is madly in love in with. She loves to dance (mostly spinning), is learning to be a friend, has fun doing homework, enjoys housework, likes going to people's houses and church; and loves coloring and drawing.

Asher Grace (she also goes by Bear and Bug) will be 2 in June and is our second daughter. She brings a lot of laughter to our family... we have a feeling she will be our clown. Asher is still figuring out what she likes about life, but here's what we know about her so far: She loves dumping out the bucket of crayons and putting them all back, following Hero around, trying to take care of Amara, playing with baby dolls, and making us laugh. Oh and food... she loves food.

Amara Raya is 6 months old and is our youngest daughter. She is our Sweet Pea and Sissy. She is super chunky and cute! She loves to look at her family, we all make her smile and happy. She has recently started to eat solids, she can sit up, and roll over.
