Update

I got offered a job today! Hooray!

It's only been three weeks. I feel so blessed. I never actually pictured myself at this particular place, and because it's my former competition newspaper, it's even more amusing. It feels like I'm sticking it to the company that thought it would be better off without me. Just a little friendly competition ...

The pay is a little less than what I was making before, but we will be fine. It's just enough where I know I still need to rely on God to provide for us. He has shown me he has had a plan from the minute I walked out of my former employer's doors.

I start Monday, something I'm a little bummed about because I have enjoyed the time over these last weeks when I could read, clean, bake, and work out in the middle of the day. I tried waking up at 8 in the morning this week, and felt like a zombie! But, the sooner I get a paycheck, the better. And I get Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve off, in addition to Christmas and New Year's days.

I am extremely humbled: after I accepted the offer, it was revealed that the company had recieved some 80 resumes and from reporters from well read daily newspapers.

And they chose me.

I'm extra thankful that God placed me in a job so quickly, especially since it feels like the area around me is crumbling.

Thanks for all of your prayers!
