Thank the LORD!

When I woke up this morning, my plans for the day included some laundry and light housecleaning, as well as scraping those heinous love bugs off of my car. A phone call around nine-thirty changed the entire direction of my day, although I did manage to do some laundry and wash my car, sort of.

The phone call was from the director of the Hardee County YMCA. This was the phone call that I expected to receive last week, scheduling my second interview for the position I had applied for as membership director. Apparently, that I didn't get a phone call last week was simply an oversight. I was incredibly relieved to know that I had not completely misinterpreted how well my first interview went. I readily agreed to come in for my second interview after lunch today.

To make a long story short, I went. And emerged as the new Director of Membership for Hardee County YMCA! I am so excited to work for this organization for several reasons. The first of which is that I will no longer be a succubus, causing my husband to have to field all of our expenses alone. But, any job would have accomplished THAT. This job is special because it will enable me to be a positive force in our local community. I have often thought how great it would be to work for a non-profit organization and to really make a difference in people's lives. Now, I will be in a position to do just that! I am ecstatic!

After they advised me I had the job, we did some paperwork and then I went off to be drug-tested and fingerprinted. I will be starting my new position as soon as they have the results of my drug test back. So, I informed my husband he only has at most a couple more days to enjoy me in the role of housewife!

By the way, thank you to everyone who encouraged me when I was feeling a little down over the seeming futility of my job search. Once again, the Lord has provided for me what I need.
