Work seeking woes....

The past two days have been a roller coaster in terms of interviews. I was interviewed yesterday by a national security company and today with an airport security company. Both results are disappointing. The first (GS4) was for a 32hr/week job that payed 9.00 an hour. 32hrs is considered full time and while they did offer heath benefits the long term picture was bleak: I would be working more hours for less money and after taxes and the cost of heath care for Emily and I, I would be loosing money. Em and I are just staying afloat on my current paycheck (400/every two weeks at minimum) so, any less would be unacceptable to us.

The second job, Covenant Aviation, hardly got off the ground in terms of an interview. The man who interviewed me was very nice Christian man who appreciated my snappy dressing and was very pleased by the answers I gave to his questions. Unfortunately, because his company had recently been unionized, He guaranteed me that I would be working weekends and holidays. At first I didn't see a problem with this...that is until he told me about the shifts. The bottom line? The kicker? The snag, if you will: None of the shifts allowed for me to faithfully attend Sovereign Grace Bible Church and still work a shift at the airport. So its work vs. Church. He asked me if I even wanted to continue the interview with that information and I told him no. To my surprise, he told me that he was "honored and humbled to sit across from a man with that kind of conviction." We took the rest of the "interview time" to talk about Godly things: Church, seminary, my study in 1 John and we even shared a time of prayer. There is a silver lining to this at least, even though my human eyes are prone to looking toward the dark cloud. I'm so glad I worship a God who keeps his promises. I know He'll be taking care of us.
