Tender Mercies of the Lord

On Monday I got a call saying that I'm hired as an on-call Clinical Dietitian at Good Samaritan Hospital!
That night I was full of happiness and anxiety.
Happiness #1, because I can now stay more current in my field.
Happiness #2, because I will now be more marketable if any harm or illness falls on Dan. (knock on wood)
Anxiety #1, because I can't just spontaneously leave the state without notifying my boss, DARN!
Anxiety #2, because there is a lot to catch up on and a lot more to learn.
Despite the anxiety, I am grateful.

I really didn't stand a chance at getting this job with other experienced dietitians seeking employment.

I am so grateful to my future boss for giving me this opportunity.

This is a tender mercy of the Lord.

I watched this clip about tender mercies and felt the comfort of the Spirit.

I hope you do too.

P.P.S. I'm pretty sure I'm not what I thought I was, if you know what I mean.  The nausea continued on and off for a couple of days, and then it went away.  And I'm 100% sure that Elena isn't, you know, either.  Even though she threw up 2 days ago, a lot.  It was sad.  So I'm pretty sure it's something else and it's not what we thought it might have been.
