The Day Has Come!

I am so relieved and thankful that my unemployment status is OVER! I am excited to say that I finally got a job. It seems to be right up my alley as a Director of Member Services for the Home Builders Association. This will be a wonderful opportunity to take my career to the next level. I’m not quite sure what I will exactly be doing, but at this point, I’m sure anything would be sufficient after being unemployed for 6 months. Yikes! I am so thankful to God for giving me a reason to stay hopeful and patient throughout the long journey. I also have awesome friends and a church group that have been my support. Thank you everyone!

So I start this wonderful job on Tuesday, May 27th. I will have more of a commute that I’m used to, but that’s okay. I feel so bad for all the people that are getting laid off or not able to stay busy enough to keep their businesses flourishing. Times are tough! I can’t even imagine what it’s like for the families that have no savings and barely made it while working. I am definitely more compassionate and sympathetic now, understanding what it feels like to not know where I was going to end up. One thing I did learn is that no matter what stage of life you’re in, if you give of yourself and your resources, IT WILL COME BACK TO YOU! Once again, IT WILL COME BACK TO YOU! Try it! Give to someone that needs a little boost…give to your church…volunteer…put someone else’s needs ahead of your own. You will not be sorry! And when it’s all said and done, you will feel so good!
