For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
~John 3:16

Part  two of the phone interview yesterday afternoon went great!  Now I anxiously await word as to whether or not they will be calling me in for a face to face interview.  Based on how well I feel the phone interview went, I would be surprised if I didn’t get the face to face interview, but I’m doing my best to not get my hopes up.  I’m trying to make sure to remember that it’s in God’s hands, and I’ll know soon enough whether or not He is going to continue to open this particular door for me.  I’ll know by Friday whether or not I’ll be moving forward with the next interview.

Everything that I found out about the job yesterday was good news.  Their pay rate is comparable to what I’m making now.  They offer benefits, paid vacation.  Pretty much the works and all I would need to transition from where I am now to their position.  I know that I would be able to handle the job well, and the guy that I spoke with who happens to be the owner of the company seemed to have a great personality and outlook on how to run a business that doesn’t require working his employees to the bone.

In a sense it’s funny that I keep bringing the workload up right now because we are currently in our downtime at work.  Things for the most part are really calm and laid back right now.  But I know what is coming.  I know what they expect during the peak season.  I know that their philosophy is that if it’s for the best of the company then you better adjust your life to it.  They basically expect the people that work here to have a life if and when the company allows it.  And I personally can’t roll with that.  Maybe I’m the one being unreasonable, but I have my doubts that I am.

I can just see so much opportunity to get my life back if I get this new job.  The job is 4 miles from where I live.  FOUR MILES!  That alone sounds like heaven.  LOL  The hours are from 8 to 4:30, Monday through Friday.  Again… HEAVEN.  I would be able to go to Cross Fit whenever I wanted to!  Right now, I’ll be lucky if I’m able to go to Cross Fit once during the week and then on the weekend.  I want more than that!  I’m seeing results.  Slow and steady results, and for the first time in I don’t know how long… maybe ever… I am motivated and excited to eat right AND go to the gym.  If I end up staying where I am now, the ability to go to Cross Fit will be extremely hampered by work.

Lord, please keep this door open for me!  I’m ready for you to close this window and open the door for this new opportunity.  I know you will do what is best regardless of what I want, but I feel like this is the light at the end of a long tunnel for me.  I’m ready to walk out of this tunnel!

Regardless of the outcome of this interview though, I can sense God moving and making changes in my life right now.  I’m excited, nervous, anxious to see what is coming my way.  I just need to remember to be patient.  I’ll know what’s going to happen soon enough.

ryn: lol our friend lives in Sacramento, though I doubt we’ll actually be spending much time there! And I have no idea where in Nebraska the step dad works. They don’t live there, they live in Pennsylvania, but he works there. So he stays out there for a couple months at a time, working at one of the universities, I believe.
