Today was day 3 of my new position at WS Live. They are a call center that houses many different projects. I was initially hired for one where sales were heavily pushed. I was not doing well, since I'm not pushy or a salesman. However, because they thought I had good customer service skills, I was moved to another "project".
In the three days I've Been there I feel this is more the job for me. On the flip side of that, I had to take some not so great hours in order to keep my rate of pay as well. This project has people on the phone 24/7 even during the holidays.
So first I have to thank God, for still having a job, and have faith that this will all work out. Funny thing is, if this goes the way I hope it could go it really could be great.
Doug and I have talked about where we would like to have Doug serve once he is ordained. One area we both liked the idea of was Arizona. This project I'm on is home based in Tempe,AZ..
Which also has a call center. Imagine if Doug were given a call in the Tempe area, I would have the potential of actually keeping my job, but doing it in AZ..
Will this happen, I have no idea. That's where my faith lies, in God having a plan for me, and me trusting it will all work out. After all my ultimate goal is to get to heaven.
To quote a song by Carrie Underwood "Temporary Hone"......"This is my temporary home, it's not where I belong. Windows and rooms that I'm passing through. This was just a stop, on the way to where I'm going, I'm not afraid because I know. This is my temporary home."

Testing my faith.....
Ok, so here's another blog I'm doing for myself, but my hope is it may touch a heart or give hope to others. In a way, I'm using it as therapy for myself as I and the family take the this journey into seminary.
To give a brief over view, Doug was never a "religious" person, but over time he started attending church where it then lead him to the call to become an ordained minister. Much to my surprise and that of the family. I was raised Catholic, and tried to follow all the rules I was given, but of course fell short of being perfect.
When Doug announced his intentions to attend seminary, I assumed it meant going back to school like an other graduate school. Doug did start on line, and my life didn't really change. But then things changed and we short sold our home and moved on campus.
I'm trusting God has a plan, as so far my plans have not come to pass. I joined the family officially three weeks ago. I didn't want to leave my current job until I had something lined up. A job came up but now three weeks later, it's not working out. Flipside to that, in one to two weeks I can start with the company but under a new job. Bad side, I won't get paid during this time. Last negative, is the hours are 10 hour days four days a week including all day on Saturday. And my week day hours are 11-9:30.
My faith steps in to say, I'm thankful I still have a job, I'm kinda on vacation and eventually I might get lucky enough for a shift change.
So today I pray for peace, strength and acceptance as I cling to the fact that God is always in control, but is really in charge of the out come.
Grace and peace until another day
