Isn't it funny how God works? We've been praying for a job since June, and about 3 weeks ago, Tanner thought God told him to start asking everyone that we talked to in Texas for a job. My initial response? How embarrassing! I am so glad I kept my mouth shut and told my husband to go for it. If God was telling him to do it, then just do it! I can't tell you how many times I cringed when I heard Tanner talking on the phone with a realtor or a construction guy and I heard the inevitable, "So, do you have any jobs available? No? Oh, well, uh, do you know anyone that has a job available?" So many times I wanted to scream, "STOP! I can't take the embarrassment anymore." For some reason I didn't. I can't say it was because of anything special, I think I just kept chickening out. I didn't want to get into an arguement or something like that.
Well, we decided to call refrences that one of our contractors supplied. Imagine my cringing soul as I heard the conversation winding up and prepared for that all embarrassing question. I could hear the lady on the other end say very politely, "Well, no, actually I don't have any job openings. I'm sorry..." I figured that was the end of that and then she said, "But, you know, there's this company that's always hiring...it won't make you much maybe 13-18 an hour..."
I checked the company out online and became very excited when I discovered that not only does it have positions open to work in its office, but also that it had openings for at home offices! Tanner filled out the online form on Saturday and got a response this morning! So, I've filled one out and we'll see if we can't both get a job.
