Well, God seems to have closed that door.
I applied for a position at my work in the HR Department, which is what my degree is in (Human Resources Management.) It's a small department and the opening seemed to me like it was meant to be since I would be getting my degree right around the same time as I graduated. I interviewed and I thought that went well. However, I still knew it was a long shot since I have no experience. The call came today that someone else was selected. I was so appreciative that she took the time to call me before she sent the rejection email.
The thing is that that position fit perfectly into MY plan. I need to stay where I am through November so that I am fully vested in the retirement (you know...that magical 5 year mark.) However, I didn't really want to leave. I just knew I was meant to stay there and getting that position would have allowed me experience plus would have allowed me to stay where I am for a little longer term. I am pretty sure God was laughing. I must admit that every time I prayed about the job I finished it with Your will be done. That is a first for me. I kind of prefer things my own way. I jokingly (okay, okay...half-jokingly) tell my husband and brother that if they would just listen to me then their lives would be perfect. I bet God thinks the same of me.
I admit that I was upset after she called me. My boss was fully aware of me trying to get that position. She was, and is, very supportive of everything - me going to school and my future career. She was the first person I told and I was struggling to hold back tears. She told me how sorry she was and then said but that's good news for me. I had to laugh. I decided then and there that I was not going to let this drag me down. God has a purpose for my life and this job was not included in that purpose. So I will keep walking until I find the next door or the open window. Lord, I praise you through this and thank you for the blessings I do have - like a wonderful and supportive boss!
