| | So, today has been quite the productive day. I was given the day off by my supervisor so I woke up this morning, made my wife some coffee, helped her get ready for work (I even ironed her clothes), had a good breakfast...dropped my wife off, went to target to get a new shirt and tie...ironed said shirt and tie, and proceeded to my 2nd interview with my now...employer. Yes folks, Eddie Estrada is the new Alternative Community Service Coordinator for Volunteer Fairfax.
The past year I'd been fighting myself out of a rut at my current job. I'd been praying a long time that either God give me the strength to make it through the day, or that he open a new door for me. God answered. Not just by opening a door, but opening a huge door in the direction I feel called to most.
I sat through my 2nd interview with the Executive Director of the program where she asked me a lot of questions about who I was. My past. My dreams. My goals. I'd never sat through an interview that went that deep into what my dreams were. The conversation went as far as her telling me how this new opportunity might help me towards my goals, dreams....so on.
We also talked about the "reality" of the position. One I'm sure many would say don't think about before jumping into a "dream job" situation. And I'll admit. Even the thorns to this rose won't distract me from watching it bloom. Cheesy, I know...but it's true. Sure I'll probably come home one day complaining about a bad day at work, or some punk kid (I mean it in the most loving way) giving me a hard time about his hours, But I asked for it. No, I begged for it, and God has provided.
Thank you God for once again placing your joy in my heart through this opportunity. I pray that I have the strength, focus, and dedication to see your will be done in my life, and the life of those I will be involved with.
I pray for the healthy growth of baby Estrada, and that we be able to welcome your blessing with the love only the Holy Spirit can radiate.
I thank you Father, for the brothers and sisters at Bridgeway242 that have supported me and prayed with me for this opportunity to come.
Only you know my heart down to it's stains of sin, and only through you will I be washed clean for you.
Amen.
PS> To add to my production report, I bought new tires for my truck, and caught up my good old friends, Aaron and Liz Ultimo.
