*I guess that's the opposite of jobless?!

I received a call from Fort Worth Public Library this afternoon offering me the Library Assistant position I interviewed for over two months ago. Hooray!!! Chester and I will NOT have to live in a cardboard box behind Wal-Mart in the near future.

I go Monday morning to begin the paperwork, background check, and drug test (wonder how many I'll have to take to make at least a B plus? Hey, I can have a sense of humor again because I'm employed again!) I'll have to attend the city's orientation before I can begin, so hopefully the results of my screenings will come back quickly so I can attend the August 4th date. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until August 18th.

Funny thing was I was on my way to the library to use their free wireless to post a resume and application for a position I had recently been made aware of when I got the call offering me the position. It feels strange to be on the computer and not posting resumes or looking at job sights, but it feels GOOD!!!!

All along God has been faithful to remind me of the words I read the first night of my lay off: "Wait on the Lord." Even today, before receiving the call, I had to remind myself of that again when I was thinking about another month of rent and bills and no money coming in. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I'm thankful and blessed God's love and provision and the love and prayers of faithful family and friends!

Thank you!!! I'll be sure to keep you posted as the journey continues.
