Life Change

So I am a firm believer in prayer and lately God has been answering me like crazy. I think that I may finally be at that point in my life where I know that when I pray to him he will answer me. What is so wierd about the whole thing is how quickly he is answering me though. I pray and within a few hours God is answering me. I have been really stressed about finding and getting a job lately. The count down is on. As of October 31st I am unemployed and my brother is not the most helpful person. Whenever I ask him about helping me his response is less than hopeful. So on Monday my sister-in-law told me that my bro's boss doesn't even like hiring women so that caused me to have very, very little sleep on Monday night. Tuesday morning I became proactive and began looking on oilfield company websites. Found out that I need to take at least two courses. I talked to my dad and he gave me some phone numbers. I went home and took one of my nice little blue pills and slept wonderfully. Woke up yesterday morning and decided to register for the courses. After the phone call I did my blog to God and asked him if he could just drop a job into my lap. Please could he just help me out so that I would no longer be as stressed about it as I had been. At 3pm I was in my old bosses office and he was offering me a job with SPAN again. It is a higher position than when I left with more responsibility and doing something different. I will be a coordinator and that basically means that I supervise and oversee programs and supervisors of the programs. Now I have been working with people with developmental disabilities in some capacity for the past 8 years. I will now be working in the areas of Brain Injury, Mental Health, and Children with developmental disabilities. There will be a total of 3 or 4 programs, I'm not sure about one yet, and it is much different than what I have done in the past. So if that isn't a prayer answered I don't know what is?!! Then of course I prayed that Dave would text me and we could spend time together and we did. So I'm happy today. I feel totally excited. Last night Dave and I talked about it, he thinks I am doing the noble thing. I don't know about that but I did have to give it a little bit of thought because the whole reason that I was leaving this field was to make more money. The job they are offering me I will be making the exact same amount. I sat down and figured it out, after taking off my pension plan and union dues I will be exactly the same. I am so excited about supervising again! I don't think I was great at it but I really enjoyed it. I already know the speal that I will give to all the staff, that I am there because there are people in this world with disabilities, mental health issues, and brain injuries, that is the only reason that I have a job and I am completely grateful to these people and recognize that my job is to serve them and assist them the best way that I can. I am also looking forward to shaking one program up. I did the job for a total of 6 weeks and it was so boring that I moved on, now there are two staff in it and I have no idea what they do all day!? It's not that I want to be a bitch about things, I just want to make sure tax payer dollars are being well used and people aren't sitting around just collecting a paycheck. So I'm excited!! I already know that I will have issues with one of the supervisors because he is a pastor and well educated and I know that he will think that he should have got this job instead of me. I am going to appreciate the qualities he has and assure him that I value his opinion but in the end I'm the BOSS, just kidding. So I won't be working in the cold and wet all winter long, I won't be buying a motor cycle this year, and I might not get out of the country twice. I will though be in a job that I think I will like and I will be making a difference in people's lives. This is the one thing that I have always wanted to do. Whenever I was wondering what career I would have my only goal was to make a difference in people 's lives. I want the line in between my birth and death dates to matter. So that's me in a nutshell for today.!
