Life can be funny...but sometimes I'm not laughing. I think that's the problem! :)
Casey is such a hard worker!! His days are long and tiring. He's doing school right now as well as two part time jobs. He is going into Political Science...which I think is perfect for him. He has such a good heart and wants to make a positive difference...and Heaven knows out country needs that! After school he goes to work at Storage Management where he is a contract manager. He works there for five hours and then goes straight to his second job, FedEx. His day usually goes from 7 AM to 11 PM! Yipes!!! It's so hard to not see him all day...but boy am I ever grateful for his hard work and dedication!
His schedule is wearing on him! Yet it's been difficult to find ANYTHING new! He's been trying so hard to find something with a better schedule, but the economy hates everyone right now. It gets discouraging when nothing seems to work out, but we both know Heavenly Father is taking care of us and something will come.
As for me, I've not been working. I had a job in the summer, absolutely HATED!!!! it, so I quit. It was not a good environment. Thankfully I did quit because that's about when morning sickness really flared! It's been an amazing blessing that I've not been working. As much as it would have helped, and sounds weird to call it a blessing, I know the Lord knew what was best. I have been pretty darn sick with this pregnancy. So to have a job would not have been a pretty sight. It's been bad enough that many days I'd just lie in bed, sick. Casey's boss at his storage management job wanted me to fill in for their secretary who has been out with a broken shoulder. I started last week....but was sick much of the time and would end up leaving early. Thankfully she's very good to work with and is very understanding. So I will continue to work a few days a week for her until either I get a different job or the secretary returns...whichever comes sooner.
I had an interview at the Clearfield Elementary last Tuesday for an aid in the computer lab. I felt really good about it. They have other applicants they had to interview, so I still don't know if I got the job or not. I am crossing my fingers but not holding my breath. I would L-O-V-E LOVE to work there! I loved working at the middle school so much! But as in all things in life, I know, if it's meant to be it will happen. If not, you just move on. :)
Even through the trials we've been having with trying so hard to find something better when it comes to jobs, we KNOW the Lord truly is taking care of us and things work out when it's time. And that time is ALWAYS the Lord's time, not ours. My favorite quote about that is this: "When we are unduly impatient with an omniscient God's timing, we really are suggesting that we know what is best. Strange, isn't it, we who wear wristwatches seek to counsel Him who oversees cosmic clocks and calendars." -Neal A. Maxwell. Can't be said any better than that.
