Boy was yesterday an exciting day. Two job interviews (one of which lasted two hours), one job offer (which was difficult to not accept after being somewhat unemployed for 9 months), and a bible study that was like nothing I’d experienced before. It has been breathtaking to watch the Lord move in my life so profoundly in the last couple of months.
In all of this it has been friends, both new and old, whom God has used to draw me closer to Him. I am grateful beyond words for all of the encouragement, prodding, advocating, and love that has been shown to me. There are a couple of people for whom words cannot express my love and gratitude for. You’ve been instrumental in the direction my life has taken recently and I’m excited for what God has in store. I’ll not embarrass you by mentioning your names but it is my hope that you already know who you are. I would surely be lost had you not been obedient to God’s leading in your life.
So, here is where I sit. The one job offer that has been officially made is with a company that I have been doing work for over the last nine months. It’s a small company that is rapidly growing with some fantastic people whom I care for and respect. The two hour job interview, I was informed this morning, went very well and they are interested in moving forward. I’m waiting on a background check and then I will know for certain if there is an official job offer. When it comes to past work history and criminal record I’ve got no concerns but you never know where these background checks might go. I’m excited by the opportunities with this company. The most appealing aspect of the company is that it is about more than a pay check. It’s about helping people in the midst of a, potentially, life threatening need. That is something that is extremely exciting to me. When it comes down to it I’ve got a tough decision in front of me but it’s God’s leading that I am seeking in this. How exhilarating it is to surrender control and allow God to do His work in my life.
On top of all this I attended an amazing bible study last night that could have gone on for hours longer. For those of you that were thee, thank you. What an blessing to be in the presence of God’s people earnestly seeking Him. To break bread in “the upper room” with you all was an experience beyond words. I’d also like to thank our faithful sister for the use of her apartment. Sister, you are the bomb! You gave us a glimpse of what it meant in Acts when Luke said “All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had.” Thank you for your faithful service in Christ.
So that is that. Right now I wait, and I do so as patiently as I can. My anxieties make that difficult but, as long as I keep my eyes stayed on Him who is above all things, He will give me perfect peace because I trust Him. Isaiah 26:3
