A little update on our 'hallway' situation. Jeff was looking into a new job because he was unhappy with his current job situation. Just wasn't feeling like he was getting the help he needed and respect he deserved for giving his life to them. :)
Another company was in the process of re-doing some positions and one was going to open up for Jeff. It would have been 15 minutes from home! He interviewed, they said don't quit yet it will be a couple of months. So he left the interview and we carried on - we discussed often and then the 'hallway' discussion came up. He called this other company (they were concerned with his 2-year job hopping plan and only being at his current job since March) and well they said 'we thought you had moved on and am no longer considering you.....' (wow, that was a blow to the game plan of working closer to home). Jeff went to work and told his boss, 'I can't do everything you need me to do.'
'I know.' came the response. (hold back the shock and celebration!!! yes!)
I need help.
again 'I know'. (can you hear the hallelujah chorus?!)
Since that day, it's been a complete turn around. Jeff has been happy with work and happy with staying at this job to learn and grow in his career and even missionary work.
What a difference a day makes?!
Just to push us way out of our comfort zones, I was released from working in Primary with Jeff and Activity Day girls (ages 8-11) and called to be Young Women's President. (ages 12-18 - yikes!)
I'm humbled and scared, happy and excited, terrified and filled with joy. Yep all that - my brain hurts. :)
The answer came. Definitely not what we wanted, but it was definitely what we needed.
Behind that door at the end of a very short hallway was more blessings that I could count. It's His promise to us. We are to be blessed more than we can comprehend for obedience and asking.
I only hope I can be like the Young Women's leaders I had. I love them dearly.
