Falling into place

About three months ago I was really depressed about not having a job. I cried incessantly; it seemed like nothing was going my way. My granny had a stroke; one of my friends' father died. It just seemed like everything was falling apart; it's weird, but I felt like someone was about to die in my family. I don't know why, but I did. My mom has premonitions (scary huh) so I thought I was having one, too. I was really being paranoid. We are all alive and well, even post-Katrina.

So anyway, depressed, I called Dr. Jackson, mainly because I didn't want her to call me and I have to give her bad news. It just seemed better for me to call her. I called, told her my situation, and prayed for a miracle. She instructed me to call PScott because she heard there was an opening in his department. I did. There wasn't. However, he called me the next day because there was an opening in another department. I talked to Mr. Jones and he told me he needed me. I went to get my hair done (couln't go back to my Alma Mater with my hair looking a hot flaming mess. I was trying to grow my perm out for dreds!!! Imagine that.)and packed. The next morning I was headed up 49. I got settled in and started working.

I put in some more applications, never got a call back. I decided to be proactive and made some calls on my own. I finally got the position I was hoping for. Well, I called my uncle because his friend is a middle school principal and told him to call his friend and tell him about me. He did. (I love that man.) This afternoon I went to meet with the principal and he offered me another job, working half the time of the position I was trying to get, but making double. God is really good.

Everything just seems to be falling into place. I am going to school in January and I will have enough money to pay for it. I just didn't want any loans. With this new job, I will have the checks directly deposited into my savings account so that when Jan. rolls around I will have it. I am too thrilled. I'm excited. I really am. God is blessing me. Sometimes He has to remove you from where you are to take you higher. I just didn't understand what was going on in my life. I felt like the education system was working against. Now I am back in the game. I am making what I made teaching, but now I don't have any bills. I'm blessed.
