My daughter-in-law came over at 11 pm on Wednesday night of last week to tell me one of her clients had been in and was telling her how desperate they were for bilingual agents. I waited until Friday to apply for it (because we were having a snow storm on Thursday). 3 1/2 hours after I walked in, I walked away with full time employment. It isn't in nursing, the wages aren't the best BUT 1) It's work 2) It's full time and the hours make up for the wages. Christmas will still be low key for us BUT we're ok with it - we had talked about toning back and this year we were forced to do so. I do believe when we (choose to) to focus more on the reason why we celebrate Christmas and not get caught up with the spending, etc that goes with the season, it will be far more enjoyable for us. At my lowest point last week all I could think as I cried out to God is when you're at your lowest point, all you can do is look up (and should be all along but when you're at your very weakest, it really stands out). God is answering our prayers - it feels like at the 11th hour but answered nonetheless - Thank you
