His Faithfulness reaches to the sky
A little update for everyone on the job front:
I got a job in a greenhouse for two weeks at the beginning of May. The same day that I started there, I got a call from some friends of ours who run a small company doing home remodelling. They needed help with bookkeeping, deliveries, and... flooring installations. So, since the middle of May I've been working for them.
Then, last week Tuesday, the 23rd, I got a call from the CRC, who I interviewed with back in March. Last go-round, I was interviewing for a position in the Social Justice and Hunger Action department, and was their 2nd choice. He recommended me for a position over in the World Relief Committee that was posted just after I interviewed for SJ/HA, and said I should hear something within a week. Well, two months later I got the call. I met with Karl Westerhof the following morning at 7am, before I had to report for work at the Home Design Studio. He was on vacation then Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday, for the Memorial Day weekend, but told me he wanted to have everything wrapped up before the 4th (that's today) when his son comes home from overseas. He called me again on Wednesday, asking for a second interview. So Thursday morning I went in, and then Friday afternoon at four I got a call with the offer! It has been a long wait, but I'm very proud (if I can use that word) that I will be working for an organization that is involved in bringing relief to hurting people around the world. I start on the 19th.

Who says patience & persistence doesn't pay off? This job is right "up your alley" and I know you are going to fit right in and find ways to make things happen with World Relief. A great organization and they are lucky to have you too! (so are WE!!!) Love you bunches! See you this weekend.
