The Siloam Saga: Proposition Presented

Part 3 was to be about the Heart but I changed my mind. We'll explore that next.

I was sitting in the A and P Lab a week ago yesterday I got a phone call.

"Dr. J" came up on my caller ID.

 My heart did a flip-flop.

A call from Dr. J could only mean one thing.

Rebekah, this is Dr. J. You told me you wouldn't know until Friday about the job...

I want to officially offer you the position. I'd like you to start the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Flounders.mouth gapes.

Ah ah... let me make a couple of phone calls and call you back.

I thought that I wasn't going to get the job.
I was supposed to know by midweek.
There was another person ahead of me for the position!
Yup. I was shocked.

Mom. I got the job. (my voice wavered)

Mom talked to dad who said I should take it the job if I was working salary.

I clarified it with Dr. J.

I was.

I am planning on going to Honduras in February to clean kiddo teeth.

Dr. J. said that wouldn't be a problem.

I wrote out the text.

"I guess I'll see you after Thanksgiving!"

Then I cried.

Everything looks great but I...

well I was not expecting it.

After about an hour I finally hit send.

I told the LORD if everything worked out, I would choose to take the position.
I would make the prudent choice.
There was some relief in obedience but my heart was still heavy.

Best part.

None of my family was home when I got back.

The were at the Knights Basketball Tourney... that I was missing.

I was one happy girl.

NOT.
Oh and I lost my voice.
Epic day.

Just so you know.

The roller coaster of emotions has ended at a good place.

Remember this was just the initial reaction.
