Phillipians 4:6 "Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." I know this, but.........
Well, I got anxious. Then, this morning, I posted my prayer request, and I am FLOORED to report that not only did I get a job, but I was offered the job I really wanted. Yesterday and all last night, I began to fear that I wouldn't get either job. I began to worry after receiving lettters, "The best candidate for this position was hired. Try again" I tried not to worry, but when 3 weeks passed after one interview and 2 weeks after another interview, I didn't think the signs were good. I wasn't hearing any news!
The interview process here takes 2-4 weeks! Yes, unbelievable, but true!
After posting on SG, I busied myself with housework. I didn't even feel like scrapping, and THAT is a first for me! Ha Ha An hour later, I received a phone call requesting a return interview and testing. WOW! I thought the position had been filled . After the interview/test, I was advised that I was 1 of 2 gals, and that I would hear in 2-3 days. I really preferred "the other position," but hey, who is going to turn down a job offer in this market? Afterward, I thanked God for presenting this opportunity and promised Him that I would leave decisions to Him. Here's the miracle, Girls......As I was talking to God, I saw the HR Director approaching the outside doors and he was pointing to me smiling! He told me that he just left me a phone message offering me the position THAT I TOLD GOD I REALLY WANTED. I immediately thought, "It was the prayers coming from my ScrapGirls!!!"
Many, many more details which I will spare, but this situation reminds me AGAIN that we must always have faith----Yes, His Divine Order----and He will provide. I am so thankful to you girls for praying for me. I have a hard time asking for help, and I always go to God privately. Do you guys have a direct line to God? Wow! As the Bible says, "When two or more are gathered...." As I walked back to my car, tears of joy, praise, gratitude, relief covered my cheeks today. I didn't care who saw me because of the manner in which God turned these events. A true miracle in my book!
THANK YOU, Ladies, for your prayers. Hugs to all of you!

I don't even think my car can move forward unless I say a quick prayer or two for someone in need that day!
