I have a job interview at 11 today. I love my current job. This job is with a community college and would include all state benefits, retiremenet and school holidays.

I only work 4 days a week now and am off on Friday to spend time with my two year old son, Luke. I would have to work 5 days on this one.

Please pray for God to show me what to do if the job is offered. I mean clearly with perfect peace hit me upside the head what to do!

If I took the job and spent more time working I would also have to cut back on PC. Of course the possible pay for this job would take care of not needing the PC money. Although, I would still stay active to not loose by career sales and things.

I had an interview last week and today's is for the top three.

I know I can count on my fellow cheffers to pray for me!
 
Will be praying for you. Remember how ever it works out is probably the way it was meant to be.
 
I will be praying for you!
 
Jennifer,

I will pray for you! God already knows what will happen and has mapped your life accordingly. Nothing is a surprise to the Author and Perfector of our lives. I will pray that you have clarity and peace of mind when making your decision.
BLESSINGS!!!
 
Jennifer,
I hope you get the job. It sounds like it would be a blessing to you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers.

I had the interview and they said they would decide by tomorrow who they choose. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for the prayers and keep them going!

I will need major peace to be able to give time up on Fridays with me son, but I know that if that is what God wants then He will show me the way I just have to be open to it.
 
I totally understand you not wanting to give up your Friday time. Right now my daughter goes to preschool for 1/2 day but other than that she is home with me. I will grad. in May and really need to start work full time but I am really pulled in two directions about it. We need the money, but I feel like Kaylee also needs me at home. I hope God brings you to the right decision and you are happy with it.
 
I will pray for you. Like the others have said, God knows what he has in store for you. I work 4 days a weekwith Monday's off, so I know how hard it would be to give up your Friday's but you have to do what you think is best. Keep us posted.
 
Hey - just logged in and got this... saying a prayer for you!!! :) Let us know how it goes!! :)

Did not get itWell, I did not get it. I have never been so happy to NOT get anything! I was really struggling with the possibility to give up time with my son, but had decided if the offer was right I was going to trust God and take it.

God is so good! He answered in a way that I know is from Him and took the stress off me of having to make a decision.

Thank you to each of you for your prayers!

Congratulations on not getting the job. LOL, I don't get to write that too frequently. May your pampered chef business continue to florish and you have lots of time and energy to spend with your son.
