Thank God!!

This week started with an interview that I wasn't even really sure I wanted to go to. The Good Samaritan Society nursing home that I was interviewing at is 25 minutes away from where I live, and 20 minutes away from where Andy, my future husband, and I will be living after July 3rd of this year. I wasn't sure if I would be offered enough hours or be getting enough money per hour to make that daily drive justifiable. My conditions for accepting the job were that the pay had to be at least $10 an hour and I would have to work at least 30 hours a week to make it work. So at meal group on Wednesday we discussed prayer requests at the end and mine was that I get a job that will be worth while and full-time would be fantastic. We all sat and prayed for each other and one woman in our group prayed for me asking that I get a job soon and that it would be one that I am excited about and that would meet my needs as well as the needs of Andy and me together. Well this morning I got a call from the G.S.S. nursing home and a woman named Rachel on the other line told me that they wanted to offer me a full-time job (72 hrs. every 2 weeks) at $10.40 per hr with benefits availible along with paid vacation and sick time (perfect for the 2 weeks I'll be needing for the Wedding and Honeymoon in July). I also was hoping that any job that I got would be a day-shift position so I would have time to spend with Andy in the afternoons and for after we're married, to be able to have supper ready and the appartment clean, all the good wifey stuff. And this job will be the day-shift from 6am (Yikes! But it's okay) to 2:30pm which will give me plenty of time in the afternoons to get done what I need to. Basically, this is my dream job right now and it is the perfect picture of what I wanted when I finished my C.N.A. training in January. I hung up the phone with Rachel and just started to cry. This is the perfect job for me and I was just so overwhelmed with thankfullness and relief and the presence of God in the whole situation. So I feel like this was truly an answer to prayer and I know it was a definite relief from the past 3 months of stress! But all that said I know that at the end of the day, God is good and will and does take care of us.
