Possibilities

I've had a possibility come up in the last week or two which is somewhat exciting for me. Whether it happens now or later, I will be happy. I already feel like I'm moving in a direction - somewhat like floating down a river. The current is strong, and I have to pay attention, but it is moving me along. About two weeks ago, a girl called me from a company that I thought I'd like to work for, and had submitted an application to prior to taking the job at Z Gallerie. She described the work available, and it didn't sound like what I wanted to do so I told her that I would probably be interested in a design related position - at which point she said - "Oh, you're my designer - I wasn't looking very carefully. Actually, this is what I wanted to talk to you about." She proceeded to describe something very much along the lines of what I had in mind. She asked me to come in for an interview, which went extremely well. When I spoke with her next, a little more than a week had gone by and she said they had been swamped, but that she wanted me to come in for a working interview sometime next week. She called today, and told me that she had called me very first of all because she wanted me to be one of the first ones that the designers met. (You have got to love that.) I will probably have to work on my birthday next week (I had asked for it off), but I think it will be worth it to be able to go into the interview on Tuesday. I wouldn't mind at all. I hope that I'm able to do well. It would be a fantastic position, letting me work in my field but with better hours, and fixed schedule - no Sundays. Also, the pay would be better and there will be more opportunities to grow. I could eventually be one of the lead designers for store, creating the vision of what it would look like and feel like for the customers. That is exciting to me, and not just because it was one of my favorite places to begin with. All that and it is about 1.5 miles from my parents' home rather than the 10 to 12 miles it takes to get to the Gateway where I am currently. That's about 100 miles a work week - and about one tank of gas in three weeks. How can you beat that? There is just not a downside except that I wouldn't see my friends anymore, and they have been so great. I would really miss them. On the other hand, those that know me and my situation have all said that if it comes through, I have to go for it and I can't look back. I can't for one minute think that working with them is more important than the chance for such a good move. I have to agree. I feel really blessed to have this opportunity to try - whatever the outcome. I honestly believe that I'll be happy either way. I have trusted the Lord to lead me by the hand, and he has.

And now it's time to feed my children.

Have a wonderful day!
