So I didn't get the preschool job. ARGH! I was so irritated when I got the call. First, I've never not gotten a job that I applied for, so my pride felt a little stomped on. Second, the only reason I didn't get the job was because I'm LDS. I really don't think I've ever been that discriminated against before. The director told me that she felt like they were really missing out on a great opportunity, a great teacher. I said, "Yep, you are." :)
Whatever. Totally their loss.

I can't believe people still discriminate based on religion. Drives me crazy!!
How did you describe your daily walk with Jesus? I've been dying to know.
Here's what I wrote. I'm not sure if it's what they wanted or not. When I googled "Statement of Faith," I saw lots of lists of beliefs from different religious organizations.
Statement of Faith
April 2008
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I have been very blessed to have been taught from birth that Jesus Christ is my Savior. As a child, I relied on the faith of my parents and church teachers. As an adult and through diligent prayer, fasting, and scripture study, I have come to develop my own testimony of Him. I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I know that He was a perfect being and a worker of miracles, a teacher of truth, a comfort to the down-trodden, a healer to the sick, a friend to the needy. But more importantly, I know that Jesus paid for my sins in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the Cross at Calvary. Because of His sacrifice, I can repent of my wrongdoings and return to His Grace. And most importantly, I know that Jesus rose from the dead, in a perfect, glorified body. Because of this, I will also be resurrected and be able to live with Him.
I am grateful for my Savior. I am grateful that He knows me. He knows my joys and my sorrows, my happiness and my pain. It is through Him that I have received all blessings. I owe everything—my marriage, my children, my family—to Him because He has given them to me. Jesus is the cornerstone of my life and the foundation of my faith, and I am indebted to Him.
I'm sorry that you didn't get the job:( I loved reading your testimony though. That is what I think a "statement of faith" is. They are absolutely insane for not hiring you. It is their loss.
