Solution, Solutions, Solution

It has been an incredible journey over the last two months plus some. If you have missed it I took a giant leap of faith back in May and quit my job due to certain circumstances that I could no longer tolerate after nearly two years of working there. I had no job to fall back on, but had been looking. I had full peace and confidence through that initial step, but that wavered once more of my faith was put to the test. I didn't understand why God would give me such a peace about leaving a secure job (though it paid poorly), but take sooo long in supplying a job. I was unemployed for a full month which obviously means I had no income for that period of time. No groceries were affordable during this time. However God did do some amazing things and blessed me greatly.

Some special people (who are unknown to me as to who gave it), gave me monetary gifts and gift cards to make life that much easier and in doing so, made me feel very loved. This happened on four different occasions. Plus over my birthday weekend my parents blessed me with a new bike and some groceries. The new bike was something that I wanted for a while, but it will also save me some money in the long run with saving on some bus rides. Friends spoiled me with a picnic in the park where we played some card games, then later Croquet and a pizza dinner and leftover cake from the picnic with ice cream. Actually during this time I have really had a great time hanging out with a lot of different people and truly loved every minute of it.

After a month of not working, and having several interviews I was finally called and offered a job at Solutions - Your Organized Living Store for a part time position. I am no fool and knew I needed something, anything. I have always liked this store from the moment I walked into it for the first time. It is clean, organized, and has things for sale in there that you cannot find in most places. They have solutions to almost any problem and if they don't have it, the associates will come up with something to help you solve it or direct you to where you can find your solution. They even have custom closest designs and custom shelving units that you can put together yourself. Nothing is too complicated to put together yourself.

Well God was at work while I was at Solutions. This past Tuesday while I was playing volleyball I got a text message, and email from my old assistant manager. She indicated that circumstances changed and she wanted to know if I would like to come back. I didn't think about it too long, as I knew that it would be different this time, but yet that I know the work well. So after about an hour of discussing things with the old assistant I decided to go for it. I talked to my current manager the next day at work and she seemed very understanding.

So I can say that things changed in a quick 24 hour period. I fully believe that God provided a solution at Solutions, until a solution could be made. All glory is due him and again it has been shown that he will provide and that he is watching all things and working out all things for those that love Him.
