Employment
Back in December I wrote about Mrs. Happy's layoff from the best job she'd ever had. The months since then have been a little trying to say the least. We've had to curtail our spending quite a bit. We've had to deal with discouragement, distraction, and sometimes despair. We've discussed, argued, and tried to plan for the future in an uncertain present. But we've also had fun. Her wide-open schedule has simplified our lives to a great extent. She's been able to do more artwork than ever before. She's also been able to do some work at our church that would have been difficult while she was at her old job.
While looking around on the Web about a month ago, she came upon a Web site for a nearby outpatient day treatment center that focused heavily on fostering an artistic, creative environment. That seemed to be right up her alley, perfectly combining her education, experience, and passion for people and art. So she faxed them her résumé and a letter saying she'd love to have an opportunity to work there. The next day, they called and asked her to come in for an interview. A couple of weeks after that, they called her and asked her to come in for a second interview.
She had that second interview today. She called me at noon to tell me that it went well. She called me at 3:00 to tell me she got the job. This continues her streak of being hired for every job she's ever interviewed for. She's very excited and a little scared, because the particular job she's stepping into lies a little beyond her realm of experience. She's brilliant, though, so I'm confident everything will go well.
Thank you all for your prayers during this time. God is good, and He proves it to us over and over again.
