After 11 Months...

God provided a job for my husband! Wow! I am so in shock! It seems so surreal that he actually will go to work in a few weeks and all. Let me give you the update as of how this came to be.

3-4 Weeks ago Josh applied for this position with the City of Winter Park working full time.

1 Week ago they emailed Josh to set up an interview that week. He goes to the interview and feels great about the actual interview, but a little disappointed about the computer test they gave him. You see he was asked to complete a list of things in 1 hour. Mind you, these items were super easy for Josh, but he wasn't familiar with their system so he only completed 2. They say they'll call in 2 weeks. I ride this one off as a lost cause.

1 Week later (this week) they email again for a 2nd interview to which I am completely shocked! They explain to him their system and allow him to retake the computer test (he completes it) and the interview was great! They commented on how good his answers were and proceeded to create a "mock" schedule of his hours. This is a split position between 2 areas (IT tech and web design). They decide the schedule works great and tell him they'll call next week to let him know if he gets the job or not.

This morning they call (1 day later) to offer him the position!!!! He calls me at 8:40 am while I've just ushered my very excited 2nd graders into the room and try to hold back tears while he tells me the good news! The rest of the day has been a whirlwind!

Everyone keeps telling us to go out to celebrate, but we'll have to postpone until we have extra money lol! We are so thankful to God for providing this job and enabling us to persevere through the trial! We are not upset about it, but thankful! We serve one awesome, sovereign God!
