Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

I started my new job yesterday. I'm really going to like it because it's very similar to what I was doing back home, only I have a title now and the pay. Just like in any job, I'm sure I'll have issues and have to deal with other people's issues, but in the end it pays the bills and gives me a little extra. I really enjoy cell phone sales though, so it should be great!

I am encouraged. I'm not in the systems yet to activate any phones, but I've been able to shadow others and hear their sales pitches and such. I've been enjoying hearing how other people sell. I did hear a lot of stuff that could be better...a lot of missed opportunities. I'm going to give some advice to some of the sales people there to try and help them out.

Yes. I really will like this job. This is just up my alley.... :)

My family will be here tomorrow!!!!! HURRAY!!!!! My family and Stephanie will be flying into DFW around 2pm. How crazy is it that I actually got the day off? I didn't even ask for it.... So happy! Not only that, I'll get a lot of time with my family even though I'll be working. The schedule just happened to work itself out that way...
God is good! :)

God is Good!

So today is a big day for me and I just thought I would share it with you!
I received a phone call from Sprint today and my starting date is officially November 22. Not only am I starting work this week, I'll be getting paid a lot more than I've ever been paid in any position I've held. I'll be a Lead Consultant, which is a management position who basically runs the store and reports to the store manager. I have been blessed tremendously by this position.

Also, I was looking for an apartment to rent and I found out that I can actually purchase a house at a cheaper price and own it in the end. So while I'm living with my cousin Kelly and her husband Kyle, I'm going to save as much as I can for a downpayment to purchase my own home!

Today is also a big day for me because on November 16, 2007 I rededicated my life to Christ, after having to go through a difficult season. I have definitely come to realize within this past year that following Christ is wonderful, there's a ton of adventures, it's a never ending journey, and God is good! I have held onto Romans 8:28 "For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose," and Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."

You know what? I'm really grateful I took that scary leap of faith to move out to Texas. Yes, it was a huge, HUGE deal for me and still is, but I believe (because God confirmed it over and over and over again in different messages and people talking with me before I moved) that if I hadn't taken that leap of faith, God wouldn't have been able to bless me like this.
So yes, it remains...God is Good!!!

I Got It!

I'm so excited! I for sure got the management position at Sprint! I'll be starting on November 22. I can't believe I'm actually getting a position that starts me in management. I don't think I could ever get that in Florida! I surely wouldn't get anywhere near what I'm making now back in Florida. I can't even believe how good God is to kindly give me this job with such an amazing pay.

God is good!

I'm making a scrumptious dinner. I wish I could share it with someone.

Update!

I was in Florida this past weekend for Mike and Kayla's wedding. It was so nice. I'm so happy for them to finally be married. They were engaged for almost a year! It was nice to be back in my hometown for a little bit. It was kind of weird though. It was almost like being in Texas was a dream, but then again, I knew it was real.

I enjoyed being home, but I'm also glad to be back. The flight home was interesting. Instead of arriving at 7:45pm, I didn't get to DFW until 11:45pm due to bad weather and having them close down DFW. So we got to stop in San Antonio for about an hour or so... I was very blessed by getting to sit next to a christian named Kenny. We talked nearly the whole time, except for when sleep came upon us. It was nice to have such good company during that long (7 hour long!!!!!) flight. He's in Dallas this week for a conference about missions trips.

Oh! I finally heard from Sprint today! I got the job! I'm so excited. I've been praying I would get the position and sure enough, I got to do my drug test today. They're hoping that my background/drug test comes through soon, but they're not sure since it's from Florida. Basically, I'll be starting work as soon as the test results come back. I'll be a Lead Consultant, which is a management position. The job pretty much sounds like what I was doing at Maycom but without the title. I can't wait to start work! It's been nice to be off for so long, but I'm starting to go stir crazy! HaHaHa

Ok it's time to go. Double stuffed Oreo's are waiting for me!!! :)
