A few months ago, I shared a post A Life Change about a possible change coming for me. It is a reality now. After teaching in a program called Family Literacy for thirteen years, I resigned from it effective January 31st. I will continue teaching for the college and continue my ministry, so I am not leaving my work with refugees/immigrants.
In fact refugees are part of the reason for my change. I felt led to offer a morning class at the Ukrainian church a few mornings per week. I will also teach a morning class for the college two mornings a week, so there will not be a big drop in income.
I am looking forward to this change in my life. It will include one added little extra for me. I will have Friday mornings off. That is something to really look forward to. 🙂
In recent weeks I also felt the need to ease up on my crazy schedule a bit. Starting in February, the two mornings I teach for the college will be in Zoom from home, so I can basically roll out of bed, get ready, and then teach and when class is over, I am already home. The two mornings at the Ukrainian church will start mid morning not 8:30. It may not sound like much, but a little extra sleep will help A LOT.
So there it is my not so big news, but something big for me.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.

These all sound like very positive steps, although change can be unsettling. Praying the changes go smoothly and you enjoy and benefit from your new routine.
Thank you Andy. I am looking forward to them. How are you?
Good morning Big Brother Matt, change is good and enjoy your Friday’s off, you definitely deserve it. Have a great day.
Thank you little sister. Fridays off sound so good 🙂 How are you today?
Excellent! These changes sound like good ones, Matt. Happy for you!😊
Thank you 🙂
How are you? recovered from the holidays?
Getting there! 😃 I’ve come down with a bug, I think, so I’m pumping Vit C and Zinc, and trying to rest more. Hope you’re staying well!
rest is good
Dr. Matt prescribes rest and let others do all the work 🙂
Sounds good to me. 😃
Wishing you all the very best with this new routine.
Thank you Manu. How were your holidays?
The holidays were good. It was quiet and spent mostly with the family.
A wonderful change for you Matt, I will keep you in my prayers as you continue in your ministry
thank you 🙂
Change is good! We need it every once in awhile.
Yes we do. I am looking forward to my changes. How are you?
In need of prayer. 😊
you got it
I appreciate that. ❤️
Fridays off sound wonderful 🙂
Yes they do 🙂
Sometimes, we have to know when to slow down. I resigned my job in 1997, and I never missed a meal or paying a bill, two fears that did not materialize. Trust God to provide. Great news!
Thank you little sister. Trusting God is the way to go
Excellent, they sound like blessed changes for you. x
Hopefully they will be 🙂
This sounds wonderful, Matt! I’m so happy it’s all worked out for you.
Thank you Patty. I am looking forward to having Fridays off 🙂
Wonderful, my friend. Thank the Lord for time, especially time to rest
I am looking forward to it 🙂
Thank you
Great positive change, Matt, so you can get more sleep and rest, without loss of income. God is so very good. You get to continue to work with immigrants but from a position of rest.
from a position of rest- I like that 🙂
🛌 Yes!
Good for you!
Thank you
Good for you! Enjoy bringing Him glory!!
Thank you. Love that- enjoy bringing him glory
Glad you are following God’s direction in this new phase of life. Change is sometimes needed and is a good thing.
Thank you little sister.
Change is good when guided by Jesus 🙂
Matt, I appreciate your update. Praying for you as God continues to lead with His faithful light.
Thank you Richard!!!
I think it is good to go for it and get some extra time. We never seem to get enough “me” time. I am making changes myself and find it useful to learn other people’s experiences . Best of luck to you
Thank you. Blessings
