Grateful For My Job
As I have been reflecting lately, another thing that I am very grateful for is my job. I remember when Bryson started the 1st grade and realizing that I was now home alone that I thought about joining the work force. I didn't have any employment skills to offer as such other than being an at-home mom. Luckily for me, when I applied at the University of Phoenix, my manager was able to see the things that I had done at home and translate those skills to skills needed in the work place. I worked for University of Phoenix from 2003 until October of 2006. In September of 2006, on our way to Disneyland, the office administration at Boeing in Mesa, called and set up an interview for when I returned home. The interview could not have gone worse in my opinion but my now manager says that everything he needed to know about me was answered within 5 minutes of me getting there. I started at Boeing in October of 2006 and have been there since. I love working for Boeing primarily because for the last 4 years I was able to work with Brian everyday - we carpooled, ate together and we were able to spend so much time together that if I had not taken the job, I would have missed out on. Additionally, for the past 4 months, my working has been the sole income for our family. I am grateful for the opportunities that Heavenly Father has placed before me and I recognize that His Hand is in all things regardless if we understand them or not.
