jobs

I have a part time job and Trevor will start his full time job December 15!!

i didn't know this until last fast Sunday, when Trevor bore his testimony and mentioned this. he talked about earlier this year he had applied for the same job he just got accepted for. He said that at the time, he really felt like it was the right thing to do, to apply for a technician job. however, he went through the long hiring process and then was denied the job. we were really bummed about it and confused.

But then, when his work buddy retired from a technician job, he mentioned to his newer boss that he was interested in working full time for public works and his boss made it seem like he would try and get that job opened for him to apply.

well, a month or so goes by and NOTHING. meanwhile, the economy is getting worse and worse and even more engineers (with degrees) are looking for jobs because they don't have one. finally, the jobs gets opened and we are bummed because they have to publicize the open position to the public (for at least a week to a month).

It turned out, that since the position was the same as the job Trevor interviewed and applied for just 6 months earlier, they could use all of those applications for this open job!! so within a week of the job opening AND closing, Trevor has an interview scheduled. we knew from before that either they will call you if you get the job within about 2 days OR, you will get declined via a letter in 2 weeks. well, his interview was on a Monday, but the week was a little weird with days off. Finally, after we were losing hope and having doubts, he was told this last Monday that he had the job.

I knew i needed to keep my faith and like i read in an ensign article a month or so back, Heavenly Father not only will test our faith, but He will test our patience. I know that we will continue to have more tests, but I'm glad that this one has finally worked out.

We really are blessed.
