Moving On....

Well I am not the type to wallow in my own self pity and man my last post sure seems like I enjoyed it. But honestly everyone needs to vent don't they? I wish I was the type to stop and just let the world rush on sometimes. But I am not. Ask my husband! I always have to pick myself up and dust myself off. No matter how many times I am pushed down I do it. Really I wish I could just sit in the dirt sometimes! I think sometimes lying there playing dead is a lot easier than moving on! But no, I guess I won't do it again!
So the Wednesday before I got laid off I just glanced at the open jobs on hotjobs. Just to take a look. And wouldn't you know it there was a part-time position open at a CPA firm. Well I thought oh, well I might as well try. I am sure I was somewhat prompted by someone to do this! I look in my files and wouldn't you know it, I already have a pretty good cover letter and resume on file from a year and a half ago. So I changed and revised things a bit and sent it off, with no other thoughts of it. Then Friday happened. But all weekend this CPA firm kept coming into my mind. I couldn't get it off my mind. I did more research and found the name of the firm, where it was located and the website etc etc. Monday rolls around, Tuesday afternoon rolls around and I hadn't heard anything. I thought oh, well I might as well follow up, I have nothing to loose! So I did. And wouldn't you know it, he emailed me back less than an hour later and asked me to call him. I went in the next day for an interview and was hired on the spot! I am so excited! I start tomorrow. I am still going to work directly under him for the next week or two then I am able to work from home as much or as little as I like/need!
What a blessing! The Lord truly works in mysterious ways! I know I have guardian angels watching out for me! I love them, and I am so thankful for the promptings of the holy ghost to guide me along! Gregg and I are truly blessed and I thank everyone for the sweet phone calls and comments left on my behalf! I have really needed them. You know when people are laid off I always worry about them financially, but I never really thought of how hard it is on your self-esteem! I think I was (in Anne of Green Gables terms!) in the 'depths of despair'. Gregg knows what it takes to get me going and thankful for him he did it for me again!

Oh, I'm so happy to read this post! What a blessing. It's always hard to understand the road we are traveling while we are on it, but isn't it great when we can look back and see that it all worked out in the end.

Good luck with your new job. I hope you just love it!
