Yay!

She has a job.

After a year-and-a-half of searching.

A real job.

With a paycheck.

And health benefits.

And the opportunity for a career.

There have been hundreds of hours of tedious applications, job interviews, buckets of tears, palms of hopes, and always, always the trust that God would direct her paths.

It took humility from an already humble gal.

And the encouragement and prayers of many loved ones, all cheering her on.

Now she has a job.

At a time when the nation is posting one of its highest unemployment rates in decades.

She has a job.

She starts Monday.

At a law firm in Bend, Oregon, as a law clerk/personal assistant.

Do you know how to work in a stressful situation? he asked.

Have you ever been in a newsroom? she replied.

He gave her the job.

Thank you for your prayers for Miz Shelby. She went home and did the Happy Dance.

And that night, she went to the home that Kon & Jon bought and they all did the Happy Dance together in the Dining Room of the home that Jon will move into as soon as he finishes painting it the colors that Konnie wants.

Feel free to do the Happy Dance yourself today.

That's GREAT news. Congrats to Miz Shelby. It must have been that extra spoonful of black eyed peas on New Year's Day!
