I got a job! Seems like it should be cause for celebration...and it is...sorta!
The job is a temporary seasonal job (with a slight chance it could become a regular job in January-fingers crossed). The job is just over minimum wage and part-time. (According to the customer service people, our mortgage co. wants to see regular employment, not temp.) The job is with the same company I worked for when I turned 16...and I'm working my butt off for next to nothing!
It is very humbling to work in a starter-level job in my own community where I constantly run into people I know! I am supposed to be a successful Realtor. I'm 43 years old, not 16! I've paid my dues. I've worked my way up the ladder. Ugh! But I keep telling myself that I'm doing whatever it takes for my family-to keep our home, my twins in college, bills paid and food on the table! Humbling!

Hang in there girlfriend, like you said it’s a glimmer of hope that things are going to change. This job maybe the first steps to getting back on your feet and keeping your home. (Not a dream job, but a job) Sometimes we have to start over and I’m glad you have a willing heart to do what it takes to stand up, dust off your knees and move forward.
ReplyDeleteTaking care of your family, that is the most important part! As a mom we have to put aside how some situations make us feel. Advice that is hard to take, "it does not matter what others think." Remember that we live to glorify only one person, Jesus. No matter what, He loves us and we are His. No one can take that away!
ReplyDeleteHang in there and keep the faith. As a mother and wife we do what we must do to keep things going. Teresa I've known you to be a very strong woman. You will get through this. Take one day at a time.
