Summer Work

This is both a prayer request and a praise.
After job hunting for a couple of weeks, I was able to find a summer job to keep me occupied for the summer. Thankfully it is full time, and pays well. Despite the tough job market, the Lord has provided, and I am thankful for that.
Now the prayer request. Tonight is my first night at the new job. It is a night job, and I will be working from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM Sunday-Thursday. I have never worked nights before, so please pray for me to adjust without too much difficulty. Also, pray that I would perform my duties with excellence and dilligence, brining glory to God as I work.

Thanks...I will let everyone know how it goes (although it will be around 4:00 PM tomorrow, since I have to sleep during the day now)

And I thought my hours were rough! I'll definitely pray for you.
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of job is it?

Thanks for the prayers. Here is an update for those who asked:
It turned out that I was training on 1st shift to work on 3rd.
So I showed up at the wrong time last night! Fortunately they understood, and I went to work today on 1st shift. I will move to 3rd shift on June 6 after I am finished with training.
The job itself is loading boxes onto trucks. It is physically demanding, which I like. It is also simple, so there aren't too many things that can go wrong.
At any rate the pay is good, so I don't have to do it for the whole summer.
Thanks again for the prayers...I'll need them when I actually move to 3rd shift.

It sounds like things are going to work out for you anyway, that's really neat. If sounds like you have a very understanding boss too, that's cool too. I am really happy for you too. One more thing sorry i spelled you name chew, i wasn't feeling very good, i am sorry.

I will definitely pray for you. My husband used to do a similar job when he was your age, and I know it will also help you stay in shape. Remember, bend your knees when lifting. *hehe* I hope you the best, cb. ^_^

Oooh, excellent CB! Yes, finding a job is hard. I've failed in every attempt in the past 2 years. I ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.
At any rate, I have some more material for the Omegaea... *snicker*
