I got a call this monday for an interview at a small vet hospital VERY close to where we are. About a month and a half ago, I realized there was a clinic jsut down the street and called them. The receptionist had told me that they would be hiring in the near future and encouraged me to drop off my resume. I dropped it off that day and then I kind of forgot about it and then they called!! I went in on Wednesday afternoon for an interview and the veterinarian offered me the position then and there. I let her know I needed a couple of days to think about it. So I did, I thought and prayed HARD. The last experience I had taught me a lot and I just didn't want to make a quick decision. I am glad I took the two days. This morning I called and accepted the position! The clinic has a technician moving to Colorado next week, ironically enough! We are switching places, weird. When she leaves I will be one of four technicians. There is one veteriarian, she started the practice in 2001. Take a look at this map (link at top) to see how close this place is, I can literally bike to work and be there in 10 min max! If I drive, which feels silly, it takes 3 minutes. It will be anywhere from 30-40 hrs a week, we will determine that on Monday when the veterinarian and I figure out a schedule. I would love to work 30 hrs a week to be honest:). Because I am a certified vet tech, they will be paying me just a bit less than what I was making when I left CSU, Animal Cancer Center. NOTHING I would have expected from a tiny private practice in Melbourne. I mean, I knew that the salaries for my profession at private practice here in Melbourne were better than the private practices in Colorado, but not close to CSU. That was a university! I am shocked and thankful and excited. I can't wait to see how my day to day will be and I am anxious to get to know the girls I will be working with and the Veterinarian, Dr. McCloud.
Talk about answered prayer!
Oh, and P.S.-Josh has a job for the Fall lined up! He will be working full-time at Community Christian School 15 minutes from here. The only independant Christian School in the area with a wonderful staff and wide variety of students. He is excited to be challenged and to bless and be blessed. Praise God for providing for us, what blessings He has showered us with! So, as Josh goes into his season of the summer off work to prepare for the Fall and the start of his career, I am starting a brand new job.
But, wait, there is more.....We have found our church too. It is called Calvary Chapel Surfside. It is on A1A across the street from the beach. We have met the senior pastor and his wife. This weekend will be our third weekend. It is a small (maybe 60 people right now) church that started 11 months ago. It is a healthy, growing, non-denominational Bible church that loves and serves the Lord. Let's just say, there are quite a few surfers there and some sweet families of all ages that love the Lord and love the ocean! Our kind of people if you ask me! We are so excited.
Laura (Josh's mom) and I started the womens Bible study that meets once a week for 6 weeks and began yesterday evening. The study is on Discerning the Voice of God, How to recognize when God speaks. It is a group of 13 ladies including us and I am thrilled to see what the Lord has in store for us spiritually and realtionally. More to come on how my new job is going. Thank you for all of you who have been praying for a door to open.
Thank you Lord, thank you for blessing us richly after we obeyed and jumped in faith moving to Florida. Jeremiah 29:11, Hebrews 11:1
