God's Timing, Not Our Own

Hello! Just so you guys know there is about 17 days 13 hours 55 minutes and 8 seconds left until Christmas, not that I have an app counting down the days till'
Christmas or anything! 

Well anyways snow, friends, family, cheer, glad tidings, the Lord is good.  

Not only that but it's going to be my boyfriend and I's one year anniversary (exciting). 

I recently was so surprised and shocked by God. I have almost been at a non profit PreK for about a year in February but have looking for social work positions throughout that time. It has not been an easy battle but just keeping courage and keep on trying. 

Well my mom ran into a lady I had interviewed with the following year,  who worked in Human Resources, and my mom connected the dots and asked if she knew me, she remembered me. Which led to her saying tell her to give me a call if she needs something better, receptionist job, which then led to me interviewing with a lady, her finding out I qualified for a different job that paid more and involved working with people, the state, and child care assistance applications. I got excited. I landed that job that same day. Oh man. It was insane out of the blue.

Then I had another connection who helped me get my resume into a company and had an interview with them for a full time social work position, which led to me scoring a group interview and both have salary, benefits, vacation, a real job. So here I stand one offer in my hand, waiting to hear back about the group interview position, so I had no jobs and in the matter of a week or a few days I have two positions that are both great positions, with great people, and I would be growing and learning new things! On Monday I should be finding out and making my decision, exciting :) 

Now I have until Wednesday at my current job. I am getting sentimental, I have been with some of these kids for a year, and I'm going to miss them. These kids bless me, and my heart, and I have realized that they have helped me through this journey of life the last year. 

As I go, I'm leaving behind little lives I have impacted, families, and children I have grown to really invest in, and am going to miss it. Along with the massive shopping carts at Sam's Club, cooking them real good food :) teaching them, sharing life with them, hearing them say EWWWW MISS HEATHER'S BOYFRIEND. These kids are darling. 

I just have to say, I am so excited to be venturing on this journey with God and to be leaving the past in the past and journey into the bright future.  God has the best timing and thoughts in His head. I just have to rejoice, celebrate, and say really God knows best <3 His timing is the bestest :) 

God bless,
