(Flowers my Dad got me when I was home in August.)
*
I got the contract!
It is not quite full time hours but it will be enough
to pay the rent, my bills and I think save a little bit.
*
The timing of this feels like a miracle to me!
I had just gotten back from the bank
to get laundry money
and realized that by the time my expenses were
paid for February
I would have very little left...
*
I don't know any details yet about the contract,
just that I will be there at 9 AM on Wednesday
and I already know some of the things they will want me to work on.
*
The person is also going to forward my name to two other
places that may need an information specialist
(another word for librarian :) )
as well!
*
I feel like my long job search is finally bearing some fruit.
And I can stay in Ottawa.
*
As you know I interviewed for positions outside of this area,
and I was willing to go where God led;
but I knew very much that the level of stress
would be a lot higher
by moving (i.e. starting over with everything,
knowing no one, new place, city, apartment)
and starting a new job at the same time.
I know a lot of people have to move for work,
but I am glad if I don't have to.
It is not easy to do and living alone with only Cleo,
I was really not looking forward to losing the community
I am in. It takes years to rebuild community...
*
I am so thankful that it appears that I am getting some work here.
I just want to resume
my working life and go from there...
*
THANK YOU for your prayers.
