Timing

I posted earlier about getting "down-sized" at work 4 weeks before my due date. In my meeting with the HR director, she stated that I could take time off if I needed to if I had an interview or something. I laughed at her comment as I looked down at my rather large belly and replied, "I can't really go to an interview like this."
I actually did go to an interview like that... I was 38+ weeks pregnant when I went in to interview for an intake therapist position at a mental health agency. My friend had referred me for the job and her supervisor was actually interested in me. I first met with the HR coordinator and I felt like there was a huge elephant in the room (ME!) as we talked about the job but didn't talk about the fact that I could actually go into labor during the interview. I met next with the supervisor and she commented that she was really wanting to get the "right" person in the job instead of being in a rush to fill the position. This actually gave me hope.
I waited for what seemed like forever and finally got a call with a job offer the day before Trip was born. It was such a relief to be able to focus on our new baby without having to worry about a job search. God's timing seemed perfect with this!
I received a call a few days later from my old supervisor telling me that one of the other therapists quit and that they would love to have me come back. I was torn! I had already accepted the other job! My supervisor was really upset that the therapist did not give her any indication that she was looking for another job. She said that, if she had known, she would've had them wait to lay me off. The whole ugly situation could've been avoided! It seems that the timing could not have been any worse.
I'm not really sure why it happened the way that it did. I ended up turning down my old job. I just felt like I needed to honor my commitment with the new place... especially since they were willing to wait for me during my maternity leave.
I start my new job in 3 weeks. I don't really know what God is up to... or even if I made the right decision. I am very thankful that He has provided for us but I am nervous about starting a new job with a new baby. Lots of transition! I think in the long run, the new job will be less stressful as I most likely won't get cussed out or threatened on a daily basis like I did in my old job.
That's gotta be worth something, right?
