After some intense prayer the past few weeks I came home yesterday to find a new Hammock is on its way to the Meadow! Woo Hoo! Of course I didnt pray abut the Hammock but about some big life changes I needed guidance and help from the Lord on. Then I received a Kindle for a early Birthday and Christmas present and promptly downloaded Luther, Calvin and some interesting Puritan stuff on it and will soon download books by my friends on it.
But, then the biggest smile came when a friend at work contacted several hundred people he knew about my looking for work. This friend is from church and worked with relatives of mine for decades. As you all know my work situation has been very dicey with the company selling our location and a new owner coming in. Well, let me backtrack, earlier on the same day I learned that the new owner will be giving us the same pay… the rest I do not know about. So, a load off my shoulders on that one… thank you GOD!!!
Back, to my friend. His email led to someone contacting me about a job. Something I never ever even thought about doing. It just never crossed my mind and the room to move forward is good and in the long run I would make as much as a Legal Assistant….. So, all that in one day!!! Wow! Thank you God for hearing my prayers.
The best thing is I contacted this guy about the job stating I didnt know how I felt about doing it but as we talked I found he and I were looking for the same things and I became more interested. 🙂 So, we are doing an interview on Friday!!!! The issue, as always is money and before he makes me an offer he wants to meet me in person. Reasonable enough!
So, please pray for us. Pray that if this is good for both them and I that it comes to fruition. While God always has a role in my life, lately I have found myself turning hard in God’s direction…… prayer, studying the Bible and applying it more in my life…… not because I want God’s help, although I sure will take it, but because I feel called to get my life in order. To become even more serious about having God in my life.
So, please pray for us, my family, myself, this guy and his business that if this is right it works out.
Since I will be starting over in my old position I figure I might as well start over somewhere else… and frankly I am tired of the way we are treated in the business I am in… its a dying industry and it is time for me to move into something growing….. where I can concentrate on growing with a business and as a human being and use my time for giving to my family, collies, friends, the church and ultimately God… although it all comes from him at least perhaps I can be some sort of small tool of his in the process….
Tomorrow back to our collie antics…..
We’re praying for you. But I want my turn in the hammock too.
Wonderful news about the current and possible future job, Chuck!! You and your family are always in my prayers. Enjoy that Kindle while relaxing in the NEW HAMMOCK! (YAH!!!) 🙂
So exciting. I never had any doubt that when the right time came, you’d be in the right place and ready to roll. Good luck at the interview. You’ll do great!
Best of luck
