bev's dream job

I know you're thinking being Mike's wife is a dream and being the mother of all those beautiful children must be so fulfilling how could she possibly want more. Well the truth is being a stay at home mom can make you feel like you are going to go nuts most of the time. Doesn't mean I love them any less, I just know my limits and after 8 years I am more than ready to go back to work. And Mike is just a little ready for me to start "helpin' out", which I want to do, I'm tired of being "financially challenged".

I got a job cleaning new construction homes, and it was okay until it got to be 100 degrees outside and it was at that point tomy surprise that I realized, I'm a wuss! I know, it's shocking, I'm a country girl, grew up running around cow fields and riding dirt bikes but when it comes to scraping paint off windows in the heat, well I am willing to admit I just can't do it!

So my frustration led to courage, the courage to ask the director at Choose Life if they might have a staff position for me. I love this ministry and was afraid if I got any other job I'd have to quit volunteering on Tuesday mornings, which I realized would kill me. So to my surprise she said it just so happened the Abstinence Director had resigned the day before.
So, I applied the next day, which was last Friday.I was nervous all weekend but on Tues. morning, she called me into her office for what she called a pre-interview. I think it went really well, we seemed to be on the same page, she actually commented she could see how fast my heart was beating.
I called the girl who is leaving the position and she filled me in all the aspects of the job, one of which would be speaking in middle schools and high schools, which I would love. Then I ran into the old abstinence director (who is now the Athens Director) at the pool on Friday (coincidence? I hope not). All the signs seem to be lining up as if this is God's will for my life, plus I always get teary-eyed whenever I talk about it so please pray, and think happy thoughts for me. Mike said he's looking forward to just hangin' out with Michael (just us guys he says). So I hope if not this job, one like it, and soon.
