I'll be training with the current church secretary May 1-15 and completely assume the position on May 16. I won't be doing childcare in our home anymore. The hours are 5 hrs/dy, 5 dys/wk, and it's in the same building where our kids go to school.
Getting this job and going back into the "real" workforce (albeit part-time) is happening a bit earlier than we'd anticipated since we'd planned for me to wait til our youngest was in kdg or 1st grade, but so many things fell into place with this secretary position. And, of course, the irony is that if Hannah, or even Grace, was here, I wouldn't have even considered taking the job since they'd be so little. And to learn that I got this job on the day Hannah was due? His ways are certainly not our ways.
No, they certainly aren't. No point trying to make sense of it all, just trust. Congratulations on the new job!

Congrats, Melanie! I am considering, contemplating, pondering getting my Synod Certification back up and running. I just don't know what to do. B will be in K in the fall. I love what I do...and the pay and tax breaks are great, but I'm feeling the itch again to make a change.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is strange when we look at our lives and wonder what might have been. And we have to thank God that He sees the big picture.
ReplyDeleteAnd one day you will see Grace and Hannah again.
I'm happy for you. I hope that you will be very happy in your new job.
