My first job as a graduate!

I graduated from college a few days ago. Its been a long road, but I'm glad I took it. My boss offered me a position with our company as a temporary employee (until our lease expires and we move closer to family). I have never known our company to transition a student worker into a temporary before, and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity. I found out today that my new job title is "Receptionist for the Department of Residential Living at WCU." My duties have not changed at all, as I was already performing these tasks in order to maintain good customer relations. My supervisor also explained that I would not be able to maintain my previous pay grade. I assumed it was due to the raise I got last year (a quarter more an hour) and that I would be returning to minimum wage. She explained that I would now be making somewhere between $3-4 more. Is it professional to turn bright red and yell "OH MY GOODNESS!" in the workplace? Either way, I did it! She knows my situation well, so she laughed and said she was glad it didn't hurt my feelings too bad.

I asked God to provide a boat so I could get across the tossing sea. He said no, and then parted the waters. I marvel at the work of His hand as I walk past walls of ocean with feet on dry land...
