I got a new job this month. I must EMPHASIZE the word NEW. It's new because I just got it, but it's also new because it's something I have never done before. I am working as holiday factory help for a company called Pharmart. Basically it boils down to picking, packing, and personalizing retail gift items. And it's not really 9-5, because the past week and a half I have been working 8-5 and next week I am not sure what my hours will be. I heard a rumor that eventually my shift will be 10-6, but who knows?
I really believe that God provided this job for me. When I applied for the job I was going for a temporary office position. It was neat to see how God orchestrated it; from how I heard about the opening, the interview, and the timing of when I started working. I didn't get the position I applied for because it had been filled by the time I got interviewed, so they offered me the position in the factory. (The temporary they had recently hired had broken her hand couldn't do the work.)
It has been a tough transition. I am not accustomed to working 40+ hours, nor am I used to being on my feet all day. I only get 30 minutes for lunch, and I am used to taking as much time as I want. There are tons of new people, a new organism (the "company") to get adjusted to. But the people are nice, and I am catching on to the policies and procedures. I have learned that I am great with an engraving computer. SO guess what everyone is getting for Christmas??
I am thankful for the job, no matter how tough the transition. God has proven His sovereign faithfulness once again.

Love it! I'm sorry we couldn't make your hoe down. We had a party we already committed to.
A car is what we are praying for you. Because we are selfish and want to see you.
keep trudging!
