Answered Prayers!!

Wow. God is amazing and provided me with a job today!

Let me tell you the story. I'll try to keep it short (for those of you who know how my stories usually go...) Anyway, this is how it went down. I explained some about job searching for the past two weeks. First of all, God has provided medicine that helps the pain in my feet and so I was able to wear dress shoes (mainly flats) to go job searching. That is basically a miracle in and of itself. (This is why my stories go so long. Tangents, haha). 

So. Last Wednesday my friend Vanessa and I were job "shopping" and I'd gone into a Carl's Jr. to submit an app. There were a couple people sitting in there as I talked to the manager and they held the door for me as I left. Vanessa was applying to Mickey D's so I was wandering around looking down the street for job opportunities when I heard someone ask if I was looking for a job. It was the same man from Carl's Jr. He explained that he needed a receptionist for his upholstery company in Costa Mesa. I took his number and set up an interview for Thursday morning. It went really well and I left with the impression that the job was mine. Apparently that was wrong because they called Friday evening and said that they'd reconsidered and needed someone more long-term. I was pretty disappointed because I'd enjoyed meeting the man's daughters (who work there). 

The weekend was kinda rough emotionally just missing home and knowing people with mutual past experiences. It's hard for me not to stress about jobs and to give my concern over to God. My fellow Project-ers were so supportive and we really do feel like a family here. 

Anyway, I called the man this morning and just wanted to see if he'd reconsider at all. He said he'd been thinking about it and that he had an idea that may work for me to work there. To cut to the chase, I'll be sorting fabrics and organizing fabrics with his two daughters who are my age and one year younger. I'm so exciting to get to spend time with them. God's provided an awesome opportunity here for me to form friendships with these girls. I'm so thankful. 

It's time for supper now but I wanted to thank all of you who have been in prayer for me. I'm learning a ton and stretching and growing and I'll have more to share later I'm sure. :) 

Thanks so much friends!!
