I went to take the dispatcher skills test/interview for the Communications Officer position in Conroe today. I was dressed right, make-up was tight, had all my paperwork, passed the test, even made it as far as speaking to the chief of police......but I still didn't get the job. They felt that my living in Houston would pose a dependability issue, and didn't want to risk hiring me, even though I was qualified. They also were looking to fill the positions quickly, without having to do an extensive background check. Normally, I would have felt bad, but the job did require that I work 12-hour shifts, 6PM to 6AM (lol) four days a week! With kids and a husband, that just isn't going to cut it. They decided to go with the three ladies who were younger, sans family, and lived closer. I think the right decision was made all around. Besides, I still have other options to consider. As a matter of fact, when I arrived home this afternoon, a job recruiter left a message with my husband for me to call her about a dispatcher position! Friends, because I am a firm believer that Jesus is Lord of my life, TOTALLY, if He wanted me with that job (and those people WANTED to hire me, because I was experienced), I would have had the job. But I know that I will receive the job that He wants me to have. It will be one that will meet ALL my needs, SITUATIONAL AND FINANCIAL, so I'm not worried or upset, or downtrodden! If I would have pushed the issue, trust me, I would have put myself into some NEW kind of hell! I have learned a very important lesson in learning how to YIELD. I may not receive what I want, but I will get what I need, and that's fine with me! I trust Him with everything. He knows what's best.
On a lighter note, I was pleasantly surprised by my children and my husband! What a beautiful Valentine's day I had! I have read many of your Valentine's Day entries, so I already know that yesterday was a joyous one for most. My oldest daughter, Nicolette, received an ARMFUL of Valentines from classmates and friends! She was so happy! My youngest daughter, Angela, made TWO Valentine's day treats for me! My little Angela......she's got "her mind on her Mommy, and her Mommy on her mind!" HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! What a sweetheart!!!!!
Gotta go now. I have been surfing the net for about four hours, and I still have homework to do plus a test to study for! Bye!

Sounds like that job would have caused a lot of stress. Keep looking and you'll find what's right for you. Remember, you are doing this for your family and must take into consideration what works for them as you apparently are already doing.
Had a great Valentine's Day here and glad to know you did as well:)

Hey you changed your colors! I like them though! You know what that song says, "What God has for me, it is for me" and it is so true. Thanks for your prayers and love during my time of grief.
