I saw the future and it opened my eyes I saw the future..

Today might have been more monumental than I thought. To be honest it's kind of unbelievable.
Let me start at the beginning.. After waiting all week long with no word, no calls and no emails, I broke down. This was Friday night and I thought I was going to have to wait till the next week before I maybe heard something. Well to my surprise Saturday afternoon around 2 (which was the time I predicted they'd call..) a very nice woman called me to ask if I could come in for an interview Monday. You know my answer. Of course in my moody state, I went through about 4 different emotions in less than 10 minutes. I called the people who had been getting me through the waiting period and then just started praying. God seriously opened a door and all I had to do was walk through it at 2pm on Monday.. and I certainly did.
Well I got up early this morning as usual and proceeded to make breakfast and watch Kathy & Hoda and then I went into I'm-on-a-mission mode so I could get ready in time for my interview.
Nerves kicked in about halfway through curling my hair so I sent out a few texts hoping to get some encouraging words back. Well of course my grandma responded and the lovely Tansy sent great words and I calmed down quite a bit. I got out of the house with just enough time to get there with a few minutes to spare. I felt so comfortable as soon as I walked in and after being handed off to the manager, I was just fine. I felt like I was talking with friends. The manager was super nice and pretty much just asked me what department I wanted to work in. It was awesome to say the least. The bakery was full but I wasn't expecting to just get right in so I was more than happy to start with cashiering or anything really.
So the interview was a success. But wait it gets better.. I was walking to my car, about halfway there and I hear my name. I turn around and the manager is asking(yelling) me to come back in and meet someone. I go back in having no idea who I'm going to meet and it turns out to be another manager. She heard that I was trying to get into culinary school and she has been looking for someone to work in the Aprons station a few days a week and wants me to do it. I said a solid YES and will be getting trained very soon hopefully. :) It felt great to be needed. I'll be helping them while doing something I love and getting paid! :)
It was a great day. I keep having say out loud, "I got a job!" to make it feel real..
Well it is real.. I'll be getting up earlier than usual to be ready for when they call tomorrow. I'm suppose to go back in to fill out paperwork I'm guessing and discuss training. That should make it even more real.
Thanks for all the prayers everyone. I appreciate them more than you know.
God bless!
