I have great news: I got a job! I'm lined up to work a sales position for a top-of-the-line knife manufacturer (they sell other stuff too, everything from silverware to garden tools). And this is not advertising, but I've just got to say their stuff is incredible. They let me test one of their table knives on a piece of leather after trying a regular steak knife on the same piece. The steak knife I had to saw with, but the table knife just went right through it easier than a hot knife through butter. No joke! I was there holding the knife, staring at the interviewer holding two pieces of leather in front of me, and going, "What happened?" It literally felt like cutting air. And their all-purpose scissors are REALLY all-purpose. The dude turned a penny into a corkscrew with them right in front of my eyes, then turned around and used the same scissors on paper. Not dulled in the least!

The job is incredible. Great pay, an unbelievable employee discount in case I decide to become a customer too, and I get to work close to home in my own hours. And best of all... well, let's just say I can't wait to see the looks on my brothers' faces when they find out I'll be selling knives. XD

The catch is, there are a few delays to me working. The meetings would lead to some schedule conflicts with my Mom, and since I don't have a driver's license, even sharing a car would prove problematic-especially since the office is several miles away, and our car needs an oil change we don't have the money for. Fortunately, the manager understands my difficulty and says I can just let him know when I'm ready to start training.

In the meantime, I'll still be looking for a job with regular hours and pay (this job I'll get paid by visit) so I can have a consistent budget. Whatever I make once I start as a salesman will probably go to savings or charity.

Thank you to everyone who's been praying for me. God really has provided.

In an unrelated note, I'm on the thirties of chapter one in Romans (some of the lists like the one below are tough to memorize completely and in order). The memory verses in this journal have nothing to do with my job. lol

Romans 1:28-32 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, and though they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but give hearty approval to those who practice them.
