It finally happened! I had an interview at the hospital that's 3 miles from where I live, and they called me back yesterday and offered me a job!
The really great thing is, we most likely won't stay working in one department. As the need arises, we move around the hospital, so chances are I'll get to spend some time in pediatrics.
Some of you might remember how depressed I was last year when I was working at a church and they had to cut my hours due to financial difficulties. Then I thought I'd found another job, but the manager was a drug addict (who embezzled a huge amount of money from the company since she sent me home, and she will do prison time). I was out of work from July until recently, though I had a seasonal job for 7 weeks before Christmas. It was at that job that I befriended a girl who told me about her friend who went to school for 2 weeks and became a CNA (certified nursing assistant). She, and another girl, encouraged me to do the same.
Though I have nearly 20 years experience in the administrative assistant field, I was rejected for every job I applied to. Someone told me that God must have something really special for me. HE DID! I never would be where I am today if the church hadn't cut my hours and if some other company would've hired me. I'd still be just a "dumb secretary" (sorry to any secretaries here, but that's how I felt at that job).
Now I get to actually help people who are sick and injured, which is something I've dreamed of doing since I was a child. God really DOES give us the desires of our hearts, even though we (I) might get angry at Him while going through the transition because I can't see beyond today.
Thank you to all who prayed for me and supported me, and showed me the love of Christ.
With love,
Sandy
