Thank you God for Camp Shelby

God,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I would have and had to have stayed at McDs until I found another job. My unemployment ended when I reported that I was "gainfully" employed. I would not be eligible to have those benefits reinstituted because I quit or got fired .... which may have happened eventually. How long could I have sustained that front of excitement and contentment??????

Well, the day before I accepted McD's, Camp Shelby called with an offer for a cashier position at the PX. I said yes. While waiting for the background check, I did manage to survive seven (7) days. When HR from Keesler Air Force Base called to say that the background was completed, boy was I elated. Although they did stipulate that the position would pay far less than McD's salaried manager.

Sometimes it about quality of life! Although I'm making minumum wage of $7.50/hr. My body is no longer suffering. I do get to talk with people, the soldiers and am not on a stop watch! Who knows but God where this simple but worthy position may lead.

Humble thyself. Be a servant.

Thank you God for Camp Shelby,
Yolanda
