Torn
I had a job interview today...It went really well. The Mother has a private counseling practice and the Dad is an English Teacher at a local high school. The little girl is just ADORABLE! They had already spoken to the Alexander’s, another family I work for, and thankfully he gave me very high recommendations so she said if I wanted the job it was mine. It's only one or two days a week, I start Thursday. I have to get up early, but eh. Life goes on. It pays 15 an hour. Yay! I love kids! And the family is SO nice..She makes the most wonderful pumpkin muffins...ooooh, it was so wonderful. I think that might have been the best part of the interview. They do most of the same parenting techniques that I really admire--They don’t let her watch TV, she doesn’t eat anything that's not natural, they do not raise their voices and they use cloth diapers. I really want to use cloth diapers when I have kids so this will be a great opportunity for me to get some more experience with them. Not to mention its extra love for me from her. And if all of these things were not enough, it's only about 2 minutes away from here so I don’t have to use a lot of gas. WOO-HOO! God really provides. This was exactly what I needed. It provides for the "gap" in my income and will allow me to save more then I have been. Its flexible hours, an AMAZING family and just something I can tell I'm really going to love. It's not a high-stress job, as a matter a fact I think it's going to be the complete opposite.
In other news, Dane contacted me a few weeks ago via AIM. Our conversation was short lived. I saw him today at Winthrop with some girl. I hope she knows what she's getting into with him.
I've really been thinking about Camp Burnt Gin lately. I'm not sure why. Today I went on Hugs and Hope and spent about an hour and a half looking at stories/updates/pictures of some of my kids and their friends. When things didn’t work out for me this summer Ricky said "It's not the end for you, Erin. I know that God's going to have you do something great for them. It's not over." That's jumped out to me a lot; I feel something in my heart. I've talked a bit to Mr. Alexander about it (He'll be my financial backer for some of this--and he's THRILLED, He loves CBG as much as I do.) It's going to be a lot of work, but I really feel like God is leading me to this project. As much as I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to go work there this summer I know I probably wont be able to--hopefully I'll get to go out there a few times and see my "plan" working...I only went twice this summer but that's going to change. I'm at least going to go out for Jeremy's week. I really want to bring Jay--I think nobody can really put in words how wonderful a place CBG is--You have to SEE IT. CBG Sprit is something you honestly have to feel to understand. I really want him to feel that...it's unforgettable. More about this plan when it's better formed...
Not much else is going on here. School. Work. Jay.
In CBG Spirit,
Erin
SMILE!
