But
I had a such a good evening. We went Christmas shopping; J got a job; we went out for supper with friends; we picked up a pay cheque. WAIT A MINUTE! J got a job!!!! J got a job. WOW!
Okay, maybe I'm overreacting and I try to tell myself that I'm not excited but I AM! I AM EXCITED!
It's good job. Here's some of what I wrote to some of my facebook friends about it:
We were in Wal-Mart and he got a phone call. It's for a safety company. He gets to be a fire fighter in the oil field! He gets to sit in bunker gear all day every day. They work long days. The pay is double what we've been getting through benefits. It was crazy. They called him (and we just happened to be in town for supper with Seven and Tammy-Lee and doing Christmas shopping).
They've never met him, never seen him before. They hired him over the phone on the recommendation of another local fire fighter. Before we went to eat he went to get fitted for gear and fill in paperwork. So so exciting. I haven't seen him this happy in a long time.
We had to be up soooooo early!!!!!! I had to be up at 5:30 to get him out of here with lunch and coffee so he could be at work by 7. That's such a turn around for us. We're used to sleeping until 9 or later!
It's supposed to be long hours. They get paid a day rate. Kinda different. Oh and he won't always get to come home each night. Some of these "day raters" are 2 weeks in, 2 weeks out. Or 2 in / 1 out. Very very very different for us. We've never done that before; a requirement for a job was that he'd be home every night. So it will be a HUGE change for us.
Oh and we are assuming BENEFITS! (READ = NEW GLASSES, no more duct tape!!!!)
I'm so close to tears. I don't wanna get excited and have it fall through again, like the concrete and the law enforcement. But it seems like they are desperate for workers in this field. So hopefully it will last.
Anyway, we are praising God for this provision and His timing. It's always perfect, isn't it?
Striving to learn and live God's purposes,
