New Job pt. 2

Man, no job offers for months, and suddenly I have 3 interviews in a week. Feast or famine. Who'da thunk?

I was offered two jobs at almost the same time. One was the Comcast job I interviewed for in April. Their HR is tortoise-like, it appears. The second offer was from the first contact I made after I left Guitar Center--Erik Mortensen, who is the business manager at Group Health in Puyallup. He wanted to hire me and didn't have any positions open back in March.

So, Erik called on Friday. "Hey, I just got funding for a position and I'd like to bring you on if you're still interested," he said. We talked on Monday about exactly what the position entails and I decided to take it. Funny how God works, ain't it?

We are cared for, we are loved, and we are really grateful.

God is So Awesome

I got a job one day a week cleaning house for the couple that Jesse's living with and got paid extremely well today. So I'm very grateful.

Also, Jesse got two interviews with Costco and Comcast is checking his references. So hopefully one or both of those jobs will pan out. I'd be happy with the "problem" of having to choose between two jobs.

Please keep praying that God will provide a job with more hours for me. I'm going to need one before long.

Thank you all for your support.

Life Isn't Fair

My brother is graduating on Thursday. This is a pretty big deal to me, because he's my brother, after all, and we went to the same high school. I want to go, but my job has scheduled me to work that night. And they aren't being flexible about ANYthing. Sigh.

Amy and I prayed last night about everything. Clearly, God has provided this job, and at just the right time, too. He knows what he's doing in situations like this. I just don't have any options right now. It's hard for me, because the things that are really important to me (i.e., not work) are being pushed out by this job. I realize that's the case to a certain extent with any job, but I've never had so much difficulty in the middle of it.

Well, my Father is good. He will take care of it, however he chooses. All I can do is surrender to him and trust him for the best.

It certainly doesn't seem fair, but perhaps there are better things than fairness.
