Irons in the Fire

I left my full time job without a prospect ten days ago. The store manager gave me what I like to call "the integrity walk" and I knew it was the beginning of the end. He drew a line on the floor and said, "this is the line of integrity. On one side is performance, on the other side is integrity. I need you to move further toward the performance side." In other words, he demanded that I compromise my values. I prayed about the situation. I heard God answer, "May 1," so I submitted my resignation. Since then, I've been "prospecting," putting my application in under a wide variety of job categories: Office Management, Customer Service, Education. Yesterday I was hired at the local amusement park as a seasonal employee. I'd love to write more on this experience...I happened to be interviewed by the GM's daughter who is a lovely young woman. We became fast friends. The new management company stresses Christian values and I was recognized on day 1! I was so happy I cried! Today I received a call from the Perinatal Network for a neighboring county. This would be a full time professional position with a mission I'm 100% behind. I'm planning to interview, and see where God leads me.
