God is Listening!

I GOT THE JOB!!

Beth called me back today with the offer for the position, and a few questions regarding the next two weeks’ hours of training. I had to make a few phone calls to make sure that Savannah would be taken care of–we never imagined the process would be this quick to make sure we covered childcare!

My training starts next Tuesday, with an orientation at the office followed by days of shadowing. I should be getting my “TO HIRE” packet on Friday, along with my schedule. They gave me between 10-15 hours a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and are actually starting me at $18/hour–THAT IS A TOTAL BLESSING!

Since all of this came about so quickly, Robert and I had to make a few calls to find help with the girls. Next week is taken care of, and Wednesday and Thursday the following week is covered. We just need help for Tuesday the 22nd.

In making my phone calls, I found out that the lady who runs the childcare down the street no longer has openings. I started my search for other local childcare facilities, including churches. I got some referrals from Anne Hobbes and Jenni Ramsey. I’m hoping one of them will work out. When we started looking the first time, I was more focused on convenience. During our wait, I started thinking about how much more important it is for Savannah to be in a Christian environment. She learns things so quickly! I would rather she learns about God in addition to her numbers, letters, colors, shapes, etc.

God’s timing is perfect!

I got everything I was asking for, and even something I had forgotten I had wanted years ago–to work with children 5 and under.
