I have a job! Thank goodness. Since January, roughly, I have been praying that I could find a job in Blacksburg after Drew and I got married. I knew that if I didn't Drew and I would struggle very much once he went back to school (perhaps struggle isn't a strong enough word, more like starve). I had worked at a home health company called ResCare last summer in Roanoke and went back for a while in December to help them out. I always thought that they may offer me a job but I really didn't want to have to travel an hour to work and an hour home 5 days a week and on the interstate no less, blah! Therefore I concentrated my job hunt on Blacksburg, mostly jobs at Virginia Tech. I steadily applied for over 40 jobs at the college and never heard back from one of them.(embarrasing I know, my sweet husband tried to convince me I was just over-qualified) It was very frustrating and disheartening.
I got a call for a job I had applied for at the hospital but the money they offered me wasn't quite what I had hoped for with a college degree. I began to feel like I had wasted four years of my life and was only being offered positions I likely could've gotten straight out of high school. However, a couple of weeks ago when I was home I got a call from my old boss at ResCare in Roanoke. By this point I was grateful for anything and would be happy to drive to Roanoke every day but she told me they had some other opportunities. I have been back at the Roanoke office for a week now and today the company offered me a full time position in the brand new (they haven't even found the office space yet) office in....drum roll please.....BLACKSBURG! God is so good! The company had just recently decided to put a spider branch in the New River Valley and said they automatically thought of me. God answered my prayers ten-fold! He has given me a job with a company I believe in, in which I have already made a name for myself and have earned respect and it will be right in my back door. I'm so sorry I ever doubted God because he has exceeded all of my expectations and Drew and I are so grateful. We won't be billionaires anytime soon but I will be helping people and all of my life that is all I have ever wanted in a career. Thank you God for your blessings!
