God is working

Some good news about Adam's job search... actually make that a couple good things...

First, Adam sent a resume via email to a firm in Baltimore yesterday (in answer to a job posting), they responded via email today and an interview was set up for tomorrow at 3:45pm. Very fast paced and extremely exciting! He should also be hearing something from another Baltimore firm he interviewed with last week. He did have an interview in Rockville yesterday but it was only so so... which is fine, it wasn't really an area of law that Adam is interested in.

I digress... first came the spur-of-the-moment interview, then towards the end of the day a lawyer from John's Hopkins University called Adam. Let me stop here to inform those who don't know... Adam worked a temporary gig at the General Counsel's office at JH for about 2 months or so last year. He worked as a paralegal while JH was looking for a permanent person for the position. While he was there he made some good connections with the lawyers in the office, enter Derek, who called Adam today. As it turns out the young woman that JH hired for the paralegal position wasn't working out and was, as of today, no longer working there. Derek wanted to find out if Adam would be interested in coming back to help out while they looked for another permanent person.

Now when Adam had worked there in the past, it was through an Agency and Adam made X amount of dollars. Derek doesn't want to go through the Agency. Derek asks how much he made through said Agency. Adam informs him. Derek promptly offers double the old pay and then for good measure adds $1 on top of the double pay. Unreal! Adam would have went back there for the same pay as before... Talk about gravy!!!!

Adam is at a point at his current temp job where they just finished a big project and leaving now wouldn't pose a big problem... Derek is offering Adam generous pay... Derek wants and values Adam so much he is willing to go the extra mile to have him there. What a stellar day. Thank you Lord for meeting us here!

Just a couple days ago we were at a point where pulling rent money together by tomorrow was looking difficult... lo and behold I forgot to enter a paycheck into our Quicken account... rent is covered, thank you Lord! (Seth/Victoria... sound familiar ;~) Just a couple days ago we were worried about not having a safety net to fall back on in times of need... lo and behold the Lord brings along this awesome opportunity. Not only does the Lord provide us with some financial security but He gives Adam a much deserved boost to the self esteem.

Now, all I have to remember is always rely on God and He will meet us. Thanks everyone for your prayers.
