When God Moves, He Moves Quick!

It's been over a month since my employer and I made the mutual decision that I should start looking for other work. It's been a slow process and incredibly stressful for me (especially on top of looking for housing). My Mom (the wise woman that she is) has been encouraging me that everything will just suddenly fall into place. Well, this week has already been a whirlwind of change and it's only Wednesday! Monday, I talked with a prospective employer and was offered a part-time position - with the stipulation that she needed to know my answer the next day! Initially, I thought there was absolutely no way that it would work and I was prepared to turn down the offer (in spite of the fact that I really want this job!). After talking with my current employer, however, it was arranged for me to cut my hours back to part-time thereby enabling me to take this other job. My first day is today. I will continue working at my other job until I find another part-time job to supplement my new work. And I already have an interview lined up tomorrow! God is truly never early, never late.

My new job is working for a great organization called Kingdom Kids Adoption Ministries. They have several ministries including the African Widows and Orphans Project (AWOP), which provides meals, hospice care, and other services to African widows and orphans (hence the name!). In addition, KKAM's primary focus is in working with adoptive families through fundraising strategies, pre-adoption training, and post-adoption support. I'm really excited to be part of this ministry and to finally be serving an organization that reflects my heart and convictions. I ask for your prayer that I will be a willing servant here and that the Lord will provide the other work I need. I'll keep you posted!
