so I do one interview with the President of the company - it went well, very well and I thought he was going to offer me the job right then and there. He preceded to tell me there is going to be another interview. They narrowed the field down to 10 from 100 and from those ten 4 will be coming back for the second interview. The second interview is meeting with the office people. It is a small office - 5 people and he wants them to make the decision since he is away most of the time, he needs to make sure the chemistry is right - which I completely understand. He tells me I will get a call back.
a week and a half goes by - i get the call - second interview set up - I am even more nervous now because I have to impress five people, five different personalities that I need to try to convince that I am the right person for the job and that I can bring a lot to their company. Nerve wracking - again - but I stay calm, I pray to dad and God to just allow me to be myself and to let that win them over (hee, hee) - it goes well - there for almost two hours. As you are being interviewed you feel yourself sweating and at times can't breath - you struggle in trying to make sure you say the right things to win them over - it is grueling. Interview is done - but I was only the third one so far - they had to interview two more people and that wasn't until Monday - I interviewed on Thursday - Ugh!
Another week goes by - I get a call - they want yet another interview - it is down to me and one other person. Great, I have to take off work again - all I keep thinking is this better pan out - I am missing alot of work - not that I mind, because I am not happy there - but still I need to keep it in case this doesn't pan out. Third interview meeting with two of the office people - it goes well, but I just have a feeling that I am not going to be the one chosen. I continue everyday to pray to God to show me the path he is leading me to - if he wants me to stay where I am at, then I'll stay, if he wants me to move on and get the job that sounds fun and exciting, that is a growing business and that is going to be a challenge, that is closer to home and the flexibility is there to where I can run to Brayden's school or get the boys - it is my ideal job - which path does he want me on - whatever way it is going to turn out I know I did all I could, I turned on "dad's " charm as best as I could - I know that whatever happens, I'll be okay.......
The day after the third interview was a long day - they said they were going to make their decision that day and that I would hear from them. I didn't hear from them until about 2:00 and by then I had accepted that I did not get the job and I was okay with it - I had already told myself you can learn from this and what to do or not to do next time...... oh what a process and a journey this last month has been.
The call came - I got the job!!!!!!! WOO HOO! I am super excited, I am beyond grateful for this opportunity. I don't want to even go into my old job anymore but Steve is making me give them two weeks - I keep asking why - I do not owe them anything and the girls there have been nothing short than mean - still trying to talking him into letting me not go back LOL.....
God is amazing and he will lead you on your path - just be patient and trust in the Lord - he is there.

On a side note, a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to two couples who have been trying so hard to get pregnant and have a baby - Andi and Bob, and Chrissy and Clint!!!!! God is a miracle worker and continue to trust in him and love him and he will be there for you and lead you on your path. here is to healthy pregnancies and healthy babies -
Miss and love you dad - and thank you for being there for me and listening to my prayers! And for passing on that Timmerding charm to me :) LOL..........
Much love to all,
