All I can say is WOW.
I still can't believe it.
For the past few days I've been on Cloud 9, and only now found the time to get it down in a journal. It's funny how things work out and timing is the key to everything, but I never really thought an opportunity would come to me in such a way. Monday night I prepared myself for yet another job interview, which would be #4 in the past week. I really wasn't up to interviewing because in all honesty I really didn't like the position. It was a job I knew I could do, a no-brainer actually. Tuesday morning I got dressed, ran a quick errand, then headed to the interview which was all the way across town. When I finally reached the place I had 30 minutes to spare. I went in the building and looked for Suite 160. The directory on the wall said I had the right address, but it wasn't the company that I planned on interviewing with. I was confused and getting a little worried. I went back to my car and called Myra. I told her about my dilemma and we laughed because only sh*t like that happens to me. I really just wanted to leave because I didn't want to interview with a company for a position that I don't have any knowledge about, but she told me that there had to be a reason why they called for an interview, and said "Just wing it!". yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I always back out of things, I can be a flaker, what can I say? Well, I went back inside and asked around for Suite 160. A lady directed me to the waiting area and then some man came out and introduced himself as "Dave". He welcomed me into his office and I sat down. He opened up a folder which had a computer print out of a job application. In the midst of applying for 1,001 positions, I must have applied with this company and forgot all about it. He was interviewing me for a Coordinator position, a 9-5 hourly job, basically a no-brainer. He asks some questions about my background, and then says, "Why a coordinator position when you have so much experience?" I guess I've always cut myself short, just taking the easy way out. But of course I didn't admit that. He told me about a position that he thought I would be better suited for. Assistant Director. Whoa. We spoke more about the position which really is more of my forte. We talked about our love for education and knowing that you go home with a feeling that you made a difference in someones life. We went on and on. Wow. I was feelin' it. Then he came out the blue and said, "you know I really think you would be a good match for this position, I would like to offer you the job right now". What.the??? I literally felt like jumping up and down on my chair and hugging him!! All I kept on thinking was WOW, i'm so blessed. I'm really blessed. The Lord is blessing me with such an awesome opportunity. Wow. I didn't want to accept the offer on the spot because I really needed the time to think about the big picture, but I knew in my heart I would say yes. So to make this entry not as long as I intended.....as of Monday, December 13th I will be an Assistant Director. =) Thank you Lord.
