Today, I had the joy of helping a friend get a job. I feel so good right now telling you this story. I drove her to the appointment, for a job as an event coordinator, and all I could think about at the time was "Lord, she needs this blessing." When she walked into the building I let all that worry go and I just smiled. Victory can so be obtained if you positively seek it. Just think about that for a moment before you read on.
I of course could not sit and just wait in the car for the news, so I ended up hunting for a coffee shop. Before you ask, I am so addicted to coffee that it's the first thing I think about when i wake up in the morning. Plus, I am so not a morning person, so for me, coffee is a must have. I ended up walking about a half a mile and it was so worth it; we are talking about a hazelnut, cinnamon, and praline coffee mixture. I get that um feeling just thinking about it. It so hit the spot at the right time because it was so unusually cold outside for the month of April in Mobile Alabama. I of course did not bring a jacket with me but I fortunately had a sweater in my car. I really don't know what's going on with our weather. This is so one of those days where you should be sitting close by a warm fire with the one you love, drinking a glass of wine, and listening to classical music (Mozart, I'm thinking). Um! Can you imagine that?
Then I called a friend of mine (that I use to work with) to try and help her son get a job. It's always ideal to maintain a good rapport with people you've worked for or with, because you never know when you might need something from them one day; like a job. This friend is definitely someone I know and I trust professionally; being able to trust someone is very important to me. There's no doubt in my mind that if I put this young man in his hands that he will be taken care of, and shown the ropes; as to allow him to excel in this job.
After her interview we drove back across the bay to pick her son up from work (he makes $2 an hour before you ask) and took him to the job site to fill out an application, that's when I realized that I knew one of the other managers that I could talk to on his behalf. I did my part the rest is completely up to him. He's now waiting for the next training class, after he's trained for the job he will go to work. I feel so proud of human kindness and God's blessings of course.
I had a very wonderful day because I had the opportunity to give back to someone a gift that was given to me by strangers; those people are like family to me now and I'm so grateful to them for all they did for me in my time of need. Let me just finish sharing the best news and the biggest kicker, she got the job and starts on Monday. I'm all smiles.
Every now and then when people are down on their luck something wonderful happens and blessings just start pouring from the sky because someone took the time to care. Much love to you all. I am Lady PJ and information is power so be informed.
