the waiting game

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Psalm 27:14

For once, I have big news to share! I have been working this week (part-time). I have been pretty much doing "nanny training" for a family. I will have worked a total of eleven hours by Friday, and making thirteen dollars an hour. I call it "nanny training", because the mom has been at home all week while I watch the little boy. Sometimes, it is both the parents at the same time. I know I said in my last post that I could never do that, but here I am doing it and loving it. Don't knock it til you try it lol. The mom is there to show me how things work around the house and to see how I work as a nanny. 

To be completely honest, I was really nervous going into this. It can be intimidating to play and talk with a little baby with the parents right there. However, they are incredibly nice, and the little boy is the sweetest little guy ever. He loves cars, hugs, and being silly. He is currently one, but will be two in November. 

This has definitely been a journey for me. It has taken patience and sleepless nights to get here. I am still in the waiting process though. As mentioned, I am working part-time this week to see if the family is a good fit for me, and if I am a good fit for them. For all I know, I could be told on Friday that they do not feel like I am the right fit for them. This is an extremely scary thought, because I honestly feel like I get along great with the little guy. I could see myself working for them full-time.

The waiting game is either almost over, or I have a long road ahead of searching some more. I am trusting God through it all. If I do not get this job, I believe He is keeping me out of a situation that I do not want to go through. If I get the job, I will praise Him, and know the wait for a job is over. I will be happy either way, because at the end of the day, I cannot see ahead the way God can. I encourage you all to remember that God puts us in situations for a reason. It is not always easy to understand right away, but eventually, it will be clearer. It is important to stay on the path God is pushing you towards. The path may not always be easy, but it is worth it. Keep going and trusting!

I am writing this on Thursday, and it will be posted tomorrow (Friday). I am hoping to find out this week whether I got the full-time job! Stay tuned to find out!
