I think God is trying to teach me patience. He’s certainly seeing to it that I wait to hear about the job I recently interviewed for. I interviewed nearly two weeks ago. And since then, I’ve talked to the hiring manager once, when she told me that she would try to have an answer for me by this Wednesday.

If I could pace and type at the same time, I would.

I’ve dreamed about this job. I’ve prayed about it. I want it so badly.

But, I know that no matter how badly I want it, if God doesn’t want it for me, then I won’t get it. And I think I’m okay with that. Pastor’s sermon on Sunday might as well have been him sitting me down for a nice, long chat. In a nut shell, he told everyone that God will open doors where He wants them open, and He’ll close the ones that need to be shut. In short, God will show us, if we’re willing to pay attention, what direction He wants us to move in. So, I’m trying to faithfully wait. Right now, I feel like I’m standing in a hallway full of doors, and all of them are shut. I’m just waiting for God to open one for me.

So, if you’re reading this, please keep me in your prayers. Pray that God will provide me with a good, full time job. One that lets me use my degree. …And if you would, pray that He’ll open a door, and that He’ll be very obvious about it, because I don’t want to miss my opportunity.

Thanks.
