Ch-ch-ch-changes

Life in the Lyle household has changed drastically in the last few days.  I suddenly find myself a full-time working mom and Parker is going to school!  It has seriously been a whirlwind the last 5 days or so.  Dan and I had kind of been talking about me going back to work but hadn't really decided for sure whether or not it was going to happen.  Last Thursday, I decided to just look online and get an idea of what was out there.  All I did was Google "Executive Assistant Positions in Tampa, FL" and found a listing for a position with Construction for Worldwide Evangelism.  When I opened it up, I recognized the name of the manager as the gentleman who our church does a lot of mission trips through.  Construction for Worldwide Evangelism didn't ring a bell because it's familiar to me as CWE.  This was way too coincidental for me to ignore so I sent my resume.  I got a call Friday asking if I could come in Monday morning for an interview.  I interviewed yesterday, they offered me the position yesterday afternoon and asked me to be there this morning at 7:00am.  It was pretty crazy.  I still can't get over how fast it happened!

In the midst of this, I was having to figure out what I was going to do with Parker in the event I was to go back to work.  I visited a few different preschools in the area and decided on one that I think is going to be great for Parker.  When we went back last night to drop off the paperwork to enroll her she said, "my school!!"  She was so excited, which made me feel a little more at ease about the whole thing.

So today was my first day back in the working world and Parker's first day of school!  I'm exhausted just thinking about all that has happened the last few days...not to mention the fact that I had to get up at 4:45am!  So not use to that!!  It'll probably take all of us a few days...or weeks...to adjust to this new season but we're all excited about it.  It was hard to drop Parker off this morning knowing I wouldn't get to spend my whole day with her.  But I can't deny the fact that God was fully instrumental in this whole thing.  He provided in so many ways that we were not expecting and really couldn't even have dreamed of.  He truly is a good God!
