A big "thank you" to all of you who have been faithfully praying for me as I've been searching for work. I went in for an interview at Starbucks Coffee on Tuesday morning, and received a call from the manger there this morning saying that I'm hired and I start next Tuesday morning at 11am!I'm really excited! I had actually sent out several resumes to Starbucks' in Michigan, and had an interview set up back in March out there. So, if all works out, and our escrow ever closes, the local manager has said that they would be willing to transfer me :-)
I'm a little bit nervous for the "new-ness" of it all. I know that it's going to be hectic and a lot to remember right at first, but I also know that I am going to LOVE the customer service/interacting with people aspect of it. And, I think that, overall, I will be really good at the job once I can get the hang of it. My good friend, Andie, worked for Starbucks for years and she has told me how well they take care of their employees. That fact, coupled with the flexible hours, makes it a really good fit for our family.
Keep praying for my heart ... I think God is really giving me the strength to "do this thing" (it can only be His grace!), but I know that, as it becomes more and more of a reality, there are going to be hard times.

God is our provider, isn't He. I will pray, I can relate to where you're at. Hmmm.. starbucks.. He just might have some kingdom work for you to do there :). I've always thought it would be sort of cool to work there.

20 ?'s....
Love you!!!!!
What a great fit! Jim was a barista for a year and really lovd it. Praying for you and so happy that you found something quickly.
I am so happy for you Bree. Let me tell you...I have had a HARD time reading your blogs. I feel for you sooo much. I do NOT know how I could handle it. I have been home with the kids for two years now as well. I would give up everything to be with them. Oh mand....why did this man have to make your life such a mess? I don't understand it. It's also hard to tell you that we are moving and we have our house and our move is set and everything. We are leaving in 23 days. That is soo fast..I wish I could take you guys with us. I mean you would be that much closer to Michigan. : ) I know you knew about this before. But that we decided to not take thier offer about a year ago. Now they come back and make Gene and offer and in NOT even a week everything is SET!! It seems so strange. The home owners of our house are soo sweet too. They live in El Cajon. How insane is THAT!! We are soo blessed to have them he doesn't even want me to stress about getting him the money for our rent and our deposits until we get there. I just don't know where this is coming from or that we even deserve this kind of treatment...I wish so badly that I could give it to you. It's hard. It's hard to read about what this guy continues to do to you and for what? I just don't know. It's not right. But maybe this is suppose to make you stronger? I know that God has put me through some pretty tough times...the stories I have about the heartache that Gene's parents have given me. I know your heartache. I know it. I just remember sobbing to Gene telling him..." I FEEL LIKE I AM AT CAMP AND I JUST WANT MY MOM TO COME AND GET ME"!!! You know. I just wanted it all to end. It was so hard but I didn't get to walk away...I had to face it. It was not easy..I have learned a lot. A lot!! Now God is moving us. I couldn't thank him enough for this. You are constantly in my prayers Bree. Keep strong. Enjoy your time at Starbucks...enjoy it. I will pray for you.
I love you- Kelly
Congratulations! I love customer service jobs-they've always been my favorites. I'll have to come in and "visit" you at work once you get into the swing of things.
Congratulations and praise the Lord!
That's awesome. You've been in my prayers. Can't wait to talk Starbucks talk with you. I really liked working there, and i have to admit I am a bit jealous.
sooo...which one are you working at, woman (note that i didn't end my sentence in a preposition)?
