Here Is The News

okay, more whirlwind. i believe the date was october 13th. a position opened at work for full-time days. i was given the option to take it or at least let them know what i would like to do. full-time has been swirling around for months, but nothing available or optional so i really thought it was not ever going to happen. my initial response was a no - i could not leave the evenings open. too much going on to not have a body there to troubleshoot what ever comes up. so i said 'no, i can't switch to days yes i do want the full-time hours.' i went home and began looking for the best way to get forty hours in one week, and be sure all the evenings and sat morning class would be covered. looked something like six days a week or four ten hour days (and where would we find someone wanting to work 9-12 m-th 9-3 fri and 9-1 sat - six days??). as i prayed it dropped in that days would be perfect. i would have evenings off, weekends off, opening opportunities to pursue friendships, schooling, church activity, even cooking supper... my heart tore about leaving the evenings with no replacement, but i was certain that the days would be the best course. i began a prayer for favour and realized that this road was being led by God and He had already given me favour. i went to my supervisor and told her what was going on. she passed the word onto the people that needed to know i was wanting the new position. so long story short - i am now the Oklahoma Wesleyan University Office Manager for our campus. i am thrilled with the benefit package provided and the options i get as a full time employee. God has far exceeded my desires for my job. i am stunned at how quickly it has happened and how wonderful the blessing of it all. i can fully take care of myself financially and have added wonderful benefits to our family. amazing.
i can continue a relationship with my wonderful supervisor (i have two at the moment until mon nov 3rd) and let it grow into friendship beyond where it is now. the opportunities at church have just blown open. and God has connected me in with people i have wanted to become friends with. i am very excited - just in case you have not gathered that.
every 'issue' i had with taking this evening reception job last january have been resolved. just amazing.
and to top it off - i made an agreement that God is honouring. He is seeing it through. i had no idea how to make it happen but according to the information i had rob and i in agreement, i gave my word that we would be doing something in 12 months. then it blew up and i thought it was lost, wondering how i was going to honour my word. and i see that God is honouring it. again WOW
