Job Update

Here are job updates for both of us...

Brian - Loves his job and is having a blast. That's pretty much it. :-)

Chrissie - As you may have read previously, I have been working temporarily in the Registrar's Office at the college for the past 6(?) weeks. When the position was posted for a permanent replacement, I did apply. I was really hoping to get it until I heard some of the details. One of the dealbreakers was NO vacation until after the first year. So, basically, I would sit at my computer for a year and watch Brian go play in the woods. I don't think so.

So, the day after my interview, I turned the job down. Of course, there were other reasons besides the vacation time. Brian and I talked and prayed a lot about it, and felt the God was leading me to a position where I would be able to better use my schooling and gifts. It was really hard to turn down a sure thing, but we know we made the right decision.

As it turns out, the Registrar (my boss) is a very nice, Godly woman. She attends church in Grove City, and her pastor's wife works at a crisis pregnancy center in Slippery Rock. So, I was put in contact with the director there, who I met with yesterday. We had a great meeting, and I am going to start volunteering there a day or two a week. I am hoping that the volunteering will turn into something more, and the director seems to be hoping for that as well. However, I have no idea what the time frame will look like or what will happen next.

So, when this position ends, I will be heading into Slippery Rock a day or two a week. I will still also be looking for a part-time paid position in order to help out the finances a little. For all of you who have been praying for my job situation...thanks! God is doing something. I still don't have any clue what the end result will be, but it's been an interesting ride so far!
