....NEW JOB!!!!
I had written a couple days ago about a possible job with a missions organization.
I got a phone call today asking me if I'd still be interested. Steve (the boss) said that he would be totally flexible with me wanting to do alot of my work from home. I can log as many hours as I want a week. The last person to do the job only used about 4 hours a week, but mentioned that it was never enough time. I can make this job into more if I wanted. I could do it full time if I really had the ambition!
I'm thrilled!
PTL!!!!

A New Opportunity
Things have been changing quite alot lately with circumstances in my life. There have been many household changes happening lately that have been quite noticeable and very positive. That's been a good thing.
Another possible change has to do with my work. Right now I'm working Mon-Fri in my home babysitting a one year old boy. I also care for my own children. Saturdays I work as a receptionist at a local tire shop. The job's been alright and it's given me some reception experience that I can put on my resume.
I've recently decided to change up my workload though. I'll be babysitting more kids starting in the fall and I've decided to hand in my resignation for my Saturday job in the fall as well. I've just found that I need my Saturdays off for family time. Working 6 days a week has been just too much.
However, I have a new job opportunity.
My brother Matt has been hired be a local missions organization here to be their media person. He told me that their part-time administration person has recently resigned. I had expressed interest in that position to him. He then told his boss, Steve. At first Steve said that they had someone in mind but then yesterday I got a phone call from my brother saying that Steve was interested in talking to me and maybe even possibly hiring me. This job though, would be Saturdays just like my current reception job. I'll be asking if I can do some of the work at home while it's just me and the kids, and log my hours. If that's not even an option, then I might just be saying no to this opportunity.
I'm wanting this to be the right decision. Do I take the job or not? Does the need for quality family time on Saturdays outweigh my desire to have this position?
Having this type of job would contribute greatly to my sense of worth and purpose in this world. I'm longing for a place where I can use my God-given gifts and abilities and this a place where I could certainly use them. I want to be in a place where I'm more than "just a mom." I want something to be proud of when I say what I do for a living. Now don't get me wrong, I love my kids...but I want more to this life. I want to be more than "just a mom."
Keep me in your prayers as I make my decision. I'll keep you posted.
Thank you so much.
