Ok, I was asked about a month ago how I would feel changing positions at my job. I would absolutely love it. I don't make much money in my position now and its the lowest position available. So, I was nervous, but went to the interview. I was totally honest with the lady and told her that I might quit later on....in about 6 months when Chris graduates. She said that would be something she would have to deal with. I had plenty of time to think about my decision, because it has been several weeks. Well, I was called into the H.R. Office this morning to ask if I wanted to take the position because they wanted to hire me. I was so nervous. I felt like I did not want to put them out 6 months down the road if I quit. I also did not want to go from talking and working with everyone in the bank....to only working with a few people and on a computer all day. But after much thought, I decided to take the job. I mean, you never get anywhere in life if you don't take those chances that your not sure of. Plus, its a higher position with more pay. I think sitting at a computer all day might actually be good for me. Sometimes I get so stressed out dealing with everyone and want they need me to do for them.
A God Moment....
When I was called to come upstairs to talk about the job...I got really nervous. I had not fully decided what I wanted to do yet. I thought I had plenty of time. Well, I of course called my husband to talk to him about it. He had told me before that he thought i should take it. But at this time he told me to do what I thought was best. So I still did not know what to do. I started making my way up to the 4th floor and stopped and said a prayer. Basically, it was "Oh, Lord help me get through this and make the right decision." So, she told me the details and then said I could let her know by the end of the day. I went back downstairs and called Chris. I still did not know what to do. Then, I started fealing high. Now, I have never done drugs....this was a natural high. It was crazy. I was excited. I started walking around like I owned the place. I knew I had to take the job. That was God telling me what to do. He made me feel so good and excited about it. It had only been a few hours and I went back upstairs...excitedly....and told her yes.
I don't know if I am going to like this new job. But there is only one way to find out. Take the chance.
I don't think I would have felt like that if I would not have asked God to help me through it, it made a big difference.
Faith, Hope, and Love!

I am so proud of you Kristi. You have come such a long, long ways. Of course I have always been proud of you and it is like I told you one day a while back, I amso proud of you and Chris that I do not have the words to say. And coming from a man who usually has a mouth full to say and can talk forever, that is something to proclaim. But it is true. I am also proud that you married a man like Chris. He was answered prayer while you where still in your mothers womb. It shows that God listens and looks far ahead of us and preplans what we cannot see. You said it great the other day in one of you writings. That He is in control. I was just thinking and praying yesterday how God has used Chris to encourage and help you the way a best friend should. Remind me to give your hubby a big hug ther next time I see him.... that is after I hug you first. With all the trials and tribulations that go on people have asked me how I say I am blessed with all of it when I say "I am a blessed man". I just reply, "I do not count my blessings the way the world does". My biggest blessings are my kids... and I have many blessings. I am proud to be called your "dad". I am a proud and honored dad. I love you very much.
I am proud of you too! Congratulations Kristi! You are going for the challenge...at least you can say tha you live life and never let anything pass you by. You gave it your best, you gave it a chance.
God is proud of you and loves you very much.
God bless
