A New Job

I interviewed for a child welfare job even though I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it. I felt like I needed to get my foot in the door so to speak so I could possibly get a job I liked better. I graduated in May with a degree in Social Work but it seems every time a job would become available some one from child welfare would get it. I have been praying for God to put me where he needed me. I told myself if I got the child welfare job that God must want me there. Then out of the blue I get a call from a friend of mine telling me that our area is getting a new shelter for foster children and they were taking applications for a shelter coordinator. She encouraged me to fill out an application and I did. I received a call to come for an interview the following Friday. Today they called and offered me the job! I will not hear from the other job for another week. I am so excited! I feel like God has had his hand in this all along. I start Monday, but the shelter doesn’t actually open until sometime in April. There is so much to do to get ready for the opening! Things are going to change so much for me and my family. I haven’t worked outside the home much so this will be a new experience. I am so excited I just had to share.
