If you know me, you've probably picked up on the fact that I have a lot of patience...
as in I don't use it very often, so I have a lot stored up
(my friend's mom says that... I like it that way, it makes me laugh).
So basically, what I'm saying is that when I decide I want/need something
I often want it right a way.
Like a job,
or children,
or a house,
you know something like that (those are in no specific order).
But obviously I don't always get the things I want, when I want them.
However, I'm learning... sometimes very slowly... that that is not a bad thing.
Heavenly Father really does have a plan for us.
His timing is ALWAYS better.
Here is an example:
So when we moved here I looked and looked for a job.
But to no avail.
I decided that if nobody wanted me for a job, I didn't want them either.
So I started crafting full time,
and enjoyed every second of it!
But I'd always feel like I'd make a better contribution to our family if I was helping out financially as well, even with my sweet husband reassuring me that I didn't need to have a job.
He would often tell me that he'd much rather have a good dinner than a little more money.
He's so sweet.
But I still kind of wanted a job, sometimes... lol.
I figure, if we don't have kids I may as well be working to save up some money for kids.
But I didn't do too much about it.
I would definitely go in spurts,
one day I would look for jobs all day long,
the next I would decide that I didn't want to.
In October, I dropped my resume off to a total of one place... lol.
Oh, and of course I was doing the subbing thing for a while.
Then in December I was asked to babysit, so I've been doing that.
Then, Thursday of last week I got a call.
It was a member of our stake presidency,
of course I was worried.
A million things ran through my head:
I'm sure I'm not getting a calling,
we just had stake conference so I shouldn't have to speak,
then, reason kicked in: he wouldn't be calling, the secretary would call me, right?
Keep in mind this was all within like .05 seconds.
Finally, he told me why he was calling.
See he happens to also be an Optometrist,
and the one place I dropped my resume off.
And basically he was offering me a job!
I went in Tuesday to talk with him and discuss the details.
I accepted the job
and get this: they don't need me to start until after I'm finished babysitting!
This is evidence to me that Heavenly Father does have a bigger plan for us!
We just have to have patience and trust in Him that one day we'll see that plan.
Because we don't always get to right away.
But that's okay.
