Unexpected

If I had to describe the beginning of my summer I would have to use the word unexpected. My plans consisted of taking a week off as soon as I came home just to unwind and relax. I was then going to try and find a retail job at a store in the mall. After filling out and turning in 17 applications I realized that jobs were a lot harder to come by, and because I had no previous experience no one wanted to hire me for just the summer. I then turned to places like Panera Bread but still got turned down. My back up job had been to call the day care that I worked at last summer, so I called and to my surprise, they couldn’t take me back. I was pretty much crushed at this point because my only fall back at this point was working at Levy Home Entertainment. I worked there temporarily over Christmas break picking books and packing them in boxes. While working there I became very depressed and just went into a slump, and I didn’t want that to happen again. My dad asked if maybe I could help in the office with whatever they needed to be done. When the HR manager said, “sure” I was thrilled. She told me to expect to pick every day, but when they needed me they would call for me. I picked the first day, but since then I haven’t been back in the warehouse! I know without a shadow of a doubt that God has blessed me this summer with keeping me in the office. The HR Administrator is a Christian who is a wonderful woman to be around. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know everyone in the office and am so thankful for the opportunity that I’ve been given. I’m glad this was unexpected, because the expected I had in mind would not have been this great!
