New Job

My most recent gift from God...a new job!!! Things have been so incredibly hectic lately - gall bladder pain then surgery, the holidays, vacation, Paco passing away (another needed blog) that this job thing snuck in between everything and came lightning fast. The night before my gall bladder surgery I received a call from my dear friend Jacklyn who I worked with at DR Horton. A friend of a friend was looking for her replacement as an Administrative Assistant to Dr. Joel Gregory at Joel Gregory Ministries. This was a 25 hour a week position, working from home and doing the exact duties from my last few positions including the one I got laid off from last summer that was also working from home. It was a perfect match so I sent the lady, Sue, my resume to give to Joel. I didn't hear from Joel for a couple of weeks so of course I thought they blew me off like the last few interviews I've had but as it turns out, Joel teaches at Baylor University for 4 days of the week and then travels and preaches the other 3 days of most weeks so needless to say he is a very busy man. Right before we left for vacation to Mexico, I had 2 phone interviews and an in person interview with Joel and he hired me! WOOHOO! This week I trained with Sue (who is a delightful lady) on Wednesday and Thursday and today is my first day on my own. As with any new job, I'm overwhelmed, excited, scared, etc. but I know things will settle down and work themselves out as we go.
