old job new job
well, for those of you who don't get the prayer requests...i'll update you on what is going on in my job situation.
my job at petsmart did not work out...it was a fun job...but a little boring. i would be done with my work at 10 in the morning...with nothing to do after that! anyway, when ryan started going to daycare, i couldn't make it out to red rock in order to be on time for work. i would be about 5 minutes late every day. well, petsmart would not accommodate me so i had to quit - otherwise i would have been fired by the end of the week due to "points". so i started looking for another job...and yesterday (thursday) i had an interview for a job at microsoft!!!!! yes, microsoft! well, i was offered the job yesterday afternoon! yay me! (but what i really mean is thank you Jesus!!) and not only was i offered the job, but the pay rate was advertised as a range - and i was offered the HIGHEST of the range! i'm so excited! and it starts late enough that i can get ryan to daycare and get to work in plenty of time.
so here's the bad part...the lady i interviewed with explained the job to me and it sounds like a VERY fast paced, VERY demanding job. which is good because then i won't be bored...BUT this is where the enemy likes to mess with me. he starts telling me i'm not good enough to do the job and that with my disability i won't be able to do the job and so on and so forth. so i could use some prayer in this situation. i know when i think these things i say, no i am not listening to the enemy. i can do all things through Christ. i know i will be praying constantly on this...and i'm just asking for some extra prayer as well!
thanks so much!

Your strength comes from Him and not yourself....just keep praying and confessing. I have faith in your God-given abilities and I have faith that God will give you the focus that you need.

I don't really have anything to add to the advice that's already been given, but I would like to tell you something--
In the time that I've known you, I've seen your confidence grow SOOO much. I know that you can do this and I know that you now have the confidence to allow God to carry you through the hard times. I'll be praying for you! :)

Throw out those negative thoughts, just as fast as they come. You CAN and WILL do this job well, because the Lord has prepared you for it and His HS will guide you.
