It's been a couple months and I'm due for a life update. After months of waking up early and staying up late searching through job after job after job; forcing out one long pointless application after another and rewriting cover letter after cover letter..... I can honestly say all my hard work was absolutely pointless. I was trusting God to direct my resume to the right person when I should have been trusting God to direct me to the right job. One day my dearest friend Lauren emailed me a link to an organization who was hiring for a Director position. I was so excited because this was actually an organization that I was interested in (rare) and I had plenty of experience working in the capacity the job called for. Anyone who knows me well knows that I grew up a YMCA girl. I was at camp for after school, summer camp, spring break camp, holiday camp all of it. And once I was old enough to work and become a youth counselor I did. This particular position was perfect. I read the job description and just drooled. This job was meant for me and I claimed it. I applied only to receive a kick back email that basically said: Don't contact us to follow up with your application -we'll contact you IE. talk to you in 6 months if at all. One week after I applied I received a call from the HR department asking me general application questions. They said they'd contact me in two to three weeks. Less than one week later HR called to set up an interview. I was so excited words can't really express my level of anticipation. Meanwhile I was interviewing for several other positions with the organisation I worked with while serving in AmeriCorps however, my heart was invested in this particular job. Like I said... It was perfect. So I interviewed not just two times, not just three times for 4 TIMES!! Each time hearing back from HR to set up an additional interview much sooner that apparently they nor I expected: Only God.
All that sums up to say: I got the job. Not because I was searching long and hard, not because my cover letter was convincing or because I'm so awesome in interviews. God brought the job to me and prepared the hearts of everyone I spoke to. I am blessed and highly favored to the tenth degree. I've been working for a little over a month now and have faced challenge and triumph. But in all things and at all times I give God the glory. I didn't maneuver my way here. I was delivered here in a vehicle beyond my own comprehension.
It's almost thanksgiving time and I have much to be thankful for. I have a job, I have a church home, I have friends in the faith, a family that loves and supports me and most importantly I have dumped my old relationship with the created and am pursuing a relationship with the Creator: my heavenly father. Now that I'm baptized I know the Holy Spirit more intimately. He both comforts and convicts me for this I am eternally thankful and grateful. All in all, I am moving onward though not without bumps and bruises. Now that I've given this background, I look forward to revealing more and more truths about my life and the adventure that extends from it.
