Change In Motion

This has been a busy few days for us here as the days grow shorter and the nights cooler. We have the heat on now all the time and I relized that I am under clothed, and will need to buy warmer clothing for the winter. But the nice thing is that all of my clothes from the time at the jewelry store still fit and are nice enough to wear to most any job I might get. And working seems to be where God is taking me back to an old trade, work I havent done for nearly 10 years.

But more about that later. The yard sale was so so and we have one more day. We sold a few things but that just seems to mean that I bring in five more things its a never ending struggle against accumulation. Woody and I just laugh at each other for we are both really bad about this.

Today it was to be raining and really cold. Woody had a final interveiw but had to go where the district manager was this week which is the store in Springfield MO. This is about 125 mles away, and a place we have never been before. So it was decided that I would go with him and have a bit of an adventure. I am glad we did.

While Woody was interviewing I too the car and did a bit of shopping and found a few things that I needed including an outlet for knock down furniture, and was able to procure the remainging needed bookcases for my little reading room. Very happy about that, not just getting them but paying less than 100.00 for all seven of them (they are small 25lx30hx12d...They will be stacked.

We stopped to eat, and do a bit more shopping and just enjoyed the driving about. The fall colors were really blooming up there and the farms surrounding the area were just lovely to look at.

While sitting in the resturant I got a call from the place that was my first choice of all of the opportunities at the job fair. I will be interviewing for a customer service type position at a freight coordinating firm here in this area, next monday. Its work that I wouldnt mind doing and the pay is more than I have ever earned in my life and frankly, should God bless us with both of these positions it will really be a boost towards preparing for retirement that we werent sure wed ever have. Im excited and a bit nervious about it all.

Think I have not been 100 percent since I had the flu shot. Sort of loggy but I hope that by monday, I will be better and on my toes. I will be interviewd by 5 different "teams" each team handles a single or group of accounts or a geographic region, depending on how things are done at this firm. It will be interesting to see how the business has changed and how it has stayed the same over the years.

I know that God has a plan for me, and its a bit different than I had thought originally. I am trying to allow for things to just unfold naturally and not to push my way into anything. Perfect Will please...that is my prayer and desire...
