Hoping For A Neon Light

One of you commented on my last post that you are praying we get a Neon Light for direction from the Lord. 


Love it!


Tomorrow morning, I am getting up at 7:30 to head back over to the office where I had my interview today.  They would like me to "Job Shadow" the person I would be replacing.  I don't quite know how this works.  Am I checking them out?  Are they checking me out?  Probably a bit of both.


Anyway ... after my 3 hour stint tomorrow, I should know whether or not I am being offered the job (and would probably start bright and early Monday morning).




This would mean ...


...  Mama goes to work full-time.


...  BIG changes for the family.


...  Papa does not pursue the out-of-town 
     positions that he was pretty excited about.


...  More responsibility for Ben & Hosanna 
     if/when Jim has substitute teaching jobs.


...  No more 6 week Road Trips with the kids.  
     Oh.So.Sad.




It would also mean ...


...  We could stretch our savings acct. a little 
     longer, and pray for painting jobs for the summer.


...  We would have a bit more structure to our lives 
     (which would be a good thing).


...  Mama would work with some very nice people 
     (some of them Believers).


...  Mama would feel GOOD 
     about the work she was doing.




If I don't get the job, it could mean ...


...  We hit "ground zero" financially in about 6 weeks.  
     Yikes!






So, unless the LORD shows me a HUGE STOP LIGHT, than I am thinking that I had better accept the position if it is offered to me.  (Jim is supportive, but it is hard for him.)




Just to be clear ... this is a GREAT job!  I am VERY excited.  If I wasn't a homeschooling mama, there would be no question that I would jump at the opportunity.




Now ... I have worked full-time before, while homeschooling the children.  I KNOW I can do it.  It is just hard, when our hearts' desire has been for Jim to get a teaching or ministry job.  But, after a year of looking ... we really don't know what direction to pursue for him.  In the meantime ... an income would be a very good thing. 




Please pray that TODAY we would get our NEON LIGHT.  GREEN or RED, we just need to know.
