Finally!

I feel truly blessed because I accepted a full time position as a therapist at New Roads Treatment Center in Provo.  Since I graduated in August, I have been a lazy sack of potatoes.  Well, not too lazy, I managed to interview at eight different facilities, send out over a hundred resumes/applications, earn my CSW license, and go on two awesome trips, but, nonetheless, I have felt extremely bored and have been a recluse.  In retrospect I am thankful that it took a little while until I got this job because I got time to go visit family, help Mac and Rachel move, move ourselves (a two month process), and get some needed recuperation from school. 

I have an increased testimony of paying my tithing.  Over the month of September, Philip and I's lives were hectic (we were temporarily living with some friends, went on two trips to Oregon and California, and were not going consistently to one ward).  While in California, I was panicking that I would never find a job, we would go broke, I would be a failure, etc etc (a downward spiral I know, and it was silly and irrational).  It seemed like nothing was working out on the job front.  I had a few fluke things happen with different potential positions, and lots of places just were not calling me back.  I also heard that many people in my program were having a hard time finding work.  The economy has been a constant worry for me as well.  While in California I watched conference and just had a strong feeling of urgency that we needed to pay our tithing.  The first Sunday we were back we paid our tithing.  The Monday after, I got a call back almost within two hours of applying to New Roads for a phone interview.  Yesterday I accepted a job to New Roads.  Tithing is such a blessing and I know that as long as I pay my tithing, I will always be protected and watched over.
