funny

...how things always work out. the car thing is 90% settled. i got a very ! low quote for minor repair, so i'm keeping my little dented car. the repair cost is low enough that i can afford to fix the other things i need to take care of to get it through the emissions test. it was only a few weeks ago i was asking God to make a way for me to afford to take care of that. also funny how the answers to our prayers never look like an answer from the front end, and always require an effort of faith. He always uses our faith to strengthen our faith.

today was a very good day. i did not get the supervisor position, and it was one of the most encouraging career moments of my life. that's kindof funny too. it came down to me and one other girl, and since she'd been with the company longer they went with her. she's great, and she'll do really well.

when my call center managers met with me they thanked me repeatedly for being bold enough, and believing in the company enough, to apply for a position like that. they also said they looked at four things in their decision; dependability, communication, flexibility and initiative. they went in great detail about how i excel in all four of these areas, and again began thanking me for my dedication to the company, my co-workers and our clients. they said my supervisors all had very good things to say about me and the feedback i give, and that our trainer in the tour department (my training ends tomorrow! yay!!) indicated she was impressed with my enthusiasm and participation. crazy!

honestly, i felt like looking behind me to make sure they were talking to me. i never expected to hear anything like that! it was amazing and humbling. God is so good to give me such favor, and to use something that could've been discouraging to me as a chance to show me He is with me and blessing me...wow! He gave me a job i love and made them love to have me at that job. they finished the interview by saying they were looking forward to seeing me grow with the company, and they encouraged me to continue to apply for similar positions as they came available. i assured them i would.
