Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
Around this time last year I started a long, stressful journey of finding the perfect job for me. I went to school for 5 years and acquired 2 degrees all of which I believed deserved a career of equal prestige as the two paper certificates I worked my butt off for.
Throughout this journey I have been happy, sad, mad, and impatient all trading turns every hour on the hour. I spent so long trying to figure out what my plan was. God had this wonderful plan for my husband, but what about me? Surely He didn't forget about me? Right?
RIGHT!
Although, I did not believe that along the way. I have been waiting for a year now for a job. I have waited and watched all my fellow graduate school students get offered jobs. I applied to around 2.721 million jobs, all of which told me "It's not you its us." Then just when I started to give up and decide to get happy about my current situation, I got the call! We were at the beach and my cell phone rang. I sat up in my chair and irritatingly said, "Who is calling me on vacation? This better be good!" I missed the call, but they left me a message. I freaked out right after the "We wanted to offer you the..." I couldn't believe it! I spent the last half of the day pinching myself.
All in His time! This job not only found me (emailed to me by a friend), and it has been open for over a year. What job in this economy stays open for over a week much less a year? Isn't He amazing?! My God is an amazing master planner and teacher, and I love Him! Wahooo for Jesus!
