Prayers for Smooth Sailing...

Have you ever wanted something you didn't expect, and when it looks like you had it, you weren't ready to fully receive it just in case it was too good to be true?

Over the past couple months, I have been applying to jobs that are here, there, and everywhere. For jobs with real opportunities for advancement and a "career" type job. And overall my plan is to end up back East, and that has not changed.

I was offered a position yesterday with Verizon Wireless that I have accepted.... everything is good to go pending my background check clearance. Yes, I am nervous..... I have worked so hard this past year to clean up my credit, and really just pay things off, and apply some Dave Ramsey principles... and I hope it pays off. This background check will verify my education, 7 years of past employment, credit, public records, driving record, and references. So, I am a bit nervous about it. Not that I have anything to hide, but my credit is not quite where I want it... and they say that if one thing does not match what was on my application... then that's it, and the withdraw their offer.

So prayers for the background check process that is goes smoothly and goes quickly. I won't be able to give my current job 2 weeks notice because if everything clears I am in the Bay Area for 3 weeks starting December 6th, and able to come home on weekends. So prayers for everything to go quickly, and that all the details fall into place. I am trying to not get too excited yet.... just in case something weird happens. I have submitted my approval for the background check and I take the pre-employment drug screening tomorrow morning. So prayers that everything moves fast and smooth. I am very excited to be moving forward and being able to get closer to my goals. Once I am there a year, I can transfer pretty much anywhere I want, and apply for positions with HR and other avenues as well.... so more details once things are finalized.
