Exhaustion

As many of you know, our moving date is July 19th! We are extremely excited and ready for all the hustle and bustle to be over with. I am ready to have one day off where I can sleep in and relax... but this will not happen for at least a month! I'm praying for strength as the chaos begins.

We were in Greenville the past weekend for several reasons. One main reason is because I had a second job interview at Miracle Hills boy home. I have battled back and forth with myself over this job... but when I purposely didn't turn in my application but got a phone call for a second interview any way, I believed God wanted me to continue to pursue it. I continued to weigh my options and desires and I believed this job was only one of those things; an option not a desire. My interview was anything but an interview... I went in to her office sat down and she gave me a card and said "write a thank you note to someone who donated a 'foosball' table" and she left the room. My mind blanked. I forgot how to spell 'foosball' and I felt as though I repeated myself over and over. Then she returned to tell me that she was interviewing 4 people that day, but it was really down to me and one other girl and the way she was deciding was by the thank you notes. That was the extent of the interview. I left 99.9% sure I did NOT get the job... (excited but nervous all at the same time).

But I got the call saying to come back in for paperwork. I GOT THE JOB! I'm excited for this new opportunity because of how clear God made it that this is where HE wants me. But I must be honest in my selfish thoughts, I am kind of disappointed because I didn't really want an office job and I was hoping to have to job search a little longer so that I had a break and time to rest! (Jonny and I both are extremely exhausted from all the weddings, moving to my parents, and traveling between Gville & Cola we are/have been doing.)

We are in Columbia for today and tomorrow so that I can train someone for my current job, but head back to Gville Wed. night so that I can start orientation Thursday morning, leave for family vacation Friday morning, return Monday so that I can begin work on Tuesday! We will then be back in Cola. from Friday to Sunday so that Jonny can lead worship one last time. And then pack up and move on the next Monday... and then back to work the Wed. after moving!

"O Lord, give me peace, patience, and strength..."
