God can do anything.
In His timing.
That truth became a reality for me today. Hope has come alive once again in my life after a drought of two and a half years. After seeing our savings run down. After counting how many days we had left on our COBRA. After sleepless nights and long days worrying, wondering and praying.
I was offered a job today as a Social Worker.
What is more amazing than the offer is the timing.
It was posted for only one day. On a Saturday. I usually e-mail about jobs. This time I got bold and drove to the HR office and applied in person. The benefits are the top of the line. And best yet. The salary is the highest I’ve ever earned in my life. Enough to survive.
Did God know or what?
Yeah, I would have loved to get this offer a long time ago. But I don’t think I would have appreciated it as much as I do now. I wasn’t as broke and I don’t think my attitude was ready to work with the elderly again.
But He knew.
So today is the day I get to post the news I have waited for so long to post.
I’m employed!
God hears our prayers. Mine and the countless ones from all of you out there. Thank you so much for all your support.
You know what’s best of all? I’m climbing that mountain.

Isn't that the best news ever?! Congrats!
I truly have God-skin; and isn't it when we are in the valley, often times a long lonely valley...that we draw nearer and nearer to Him and when He says, NOW....that climb up is so glorious? I'm thrilled for you!! GO GOD!
Lovingly,
Yolanda
Praise God indeed! So thrilled for you Terri, you most definitely deserve it. I hope the new job works out well for you.
We are still on the search for a FT position for Steve but God is blessing us in many other ways.
Hope everything else is well.
God bless and good luck with the new job!
Terri, the same happened to my husband two years ago. He brought his last severance check in from the mail, stared at it, stared at me, looked like a kicked puppy and went to watch tv. (AT nearly 60, I knew how hard this was for him). An hour and a half later, the big bosses called and offered him a job, not the same one, but with the same pay and benefits. He could start right away. God didn't even allow us to worry (cuz we shouldn't have been before-okay, we're human) more than one and a half hours. God is more than good, He's awesome! Congrats!
Praise God for His wonderous mercy!I could not be happier for you! We are still trying to climb up that mountain but keep sliding down:(
I am trusting God to work this all out for us.
Wonderful news, Terri! Amazing! God is good!
I'm so happy for you Terri! God does hear our prayers.
Terri!!!!!!!!!! I am crying and clapping at my computer for you!!!!!!! God is so good, and I am so thrilled for you and your hubby. You made my day!!!!!!!!
Oh, my gosh! I have tears in my eyes!
God is so very very good!
Woot! Congratulations on your new job!
OMG YAYYYYYYY!!! (and I glanced down and saw the first paragraph of your post below *smiling*)
SO HAPPY FOR YOU _- whoop whoop whoopeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohooo! I'm SOOOO happy for you! It's amazing how God answers our prayers, and what an exciting way he's done it for you.
I feel like sending chocolate your way!
Have some cyber-Godiva girlie! :-)
Oh Terri...I am SO HAPPY for you. Will you still be working with elderly? That was wonderful news. Hope you will still keep up your blog. Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
Congratulations and celebrations tra la la la la la la la la la la la! I'm VERY VERY VERY happy for you!
Only tears of joy in this moment as I see the hand of God move in profound measure for a friend. His provision is stunning; and while we cannot always trace his hands in our many matters... they are there. And your faith, my friend, has just grown. You will remember this the next time you hit a "bump" in the road.
Thank you precious Lord for taking care of my friend.
peace~elaine

Yay God!! His timing is always so much better than ours!!
Congrats on finding His gift for you, and for being so grateful, even when He made you wait. :)
I so love to read posts like this!
This is so awesome, Terri. Prayers have been answered for sure.
Congratulations and you must keep us informed as to how God moves in your life through this new job!
I'm so glad for you. Though I don't post here often, I've been following your progress and praying for your family.
Thanks for posting this as it gives me hope for members of my own family who've been out of work for a very long time.
I'm so glad you got a great job. God answers our prayers. As you noted, His timing was perfect. I rejoice with you!
Wonderful news, Terri! That's kind of how it worked out for my job. God is so good and his timing so perfect.
Congratulations. I hope you enjoy your new adventure.
I am absolutely thrilled and rejoicing with you sister!!! Oh and His timing is absolutely perfect, Glory to God!!
I love to think about how His hand was upon you as you decided to be bold and drive to the HR office instead of applying on-line. A Divinely ordered "move" I'm sure and you were being lead by Him to do so!!! Glory to God!!
He is Faithful!!!
Hugs and Sweet Blessings!
Jackie
Love your thankful heart. So thankful God is providing and you are willing to go where He sends you. :) God is good.
