Last week, I posted a thread asking for a little help from my frens as I had a third interview for a job I wanted. Not only was it something I think I would have been really good in, it was something I would have enjoyed. Plus, I have been unemployed since last summer, so things are getting tight.

Alas, I learned that I was not chosen for the position. While I am disappointed, I wanted to share how very, very touched I was for all the prayers and well wishes. It brings a tear to my eye that a bunch of anons cared so much to take the time just to say nice things and cheer me on. You are all warriors in many ways in my eyes!
It also gave me some perspective. Thst I have to place this in the Big Guy's hands, and apparently, that was not my path. Given I got sick* this week tells me I wasn't taking good care of myself and that I let the stress get the better of me. God is telling me to slow down and trust. I am trying! But I wanted to express my thanks to you all, my GAW frens...💕
- It's just a cold - might be the Vid, but the only reason I think that is because I got my hair cut and I got a call from the salon a couple of days ago that the woman who cut my hair tested positive. The owner was all apologetic when she learned I was sick as well and I was like, "eh, no worries; we will have something to talk about next time." (I don’t think she was prepared for my 'shit happens' attitude to the news.) In a weird kind of way, it kind of softened the blow of the end result on the job, but that might be because I have felt like a total slug most of the week.
Looking back, I am so grateful that some prayers went unanswered and some doors remained firmly shut. All things turn to the good: if this wasn't right then have faith that something better will turn up. It may even be something completely different...
This week, was scrolling through LinkedIn feed and found out that ALL the startups I've wanted in to (delivery robots, online identification, international transfer services etc.) in last 3 years, have gone so woke I'd be absolutely unhappy there. So God just kept me from those disasters!
I am glad to see you put it in God's hands. There is always a reason He doesn't want you in that job. There is a job He needs you to do. And that one wasn't it.
We all had a discussion in my bible study about the paths we have taken when we were disappointed because something didn't happen in our favor. Then we realized God had other plans for our lives. (We are a bunch of old ladies... so we saw how this worked throughout our lives)>
Trust in the Lord as He does have a plan for you.
Try not to let it get you down and file it under interview experience. I had so many 2nd and even 3rd interviews for jobs that sounded wonderful and perfect for me. Only to be told I didn't get it. Interesting that in several of those cases I heard through the grapevine that they ended up not hiring anyone. Which tells me the organization was not as stable as they wanted me to believe. But I always put it all in God's Hands, He knows better, always, always, always. Any one of those jobs would have been life changing but God had a different path for me.
So sorry for your disappointment. It was not in God’s plan for you, but he has a larger and better plan for your skills. Keep the faith friend, God will bless and keep you and give you peace.
I am so sorry to hear about the job...but with God in control who knows what tomorrow brings...I am sure you have everything you need to get well quickly, even if it is "covid"...whatever that even is anymore. Take care of yourself and I know we walk by faith...in things unseen...a believer's life is NEVER dull, so just recuperate so you are prepared for the great blessings that God has in store for you, his beloved child...I am so glad you felt the love and prayers of all the anons...we are a powerful group and when we come together in prayer...it is a force to be reckoned with...God bless you richly in all you say and do...Get Well Soon...
LOL- this. I tell people, you know you will get sick again in your life, right? I look at this from a viewpoint that I need to get out more and exercise my immune system.
Still praying for ya 🙏
Rest assured, that whatever the outcome of the job and the sickness, you are in God’s, perfect timing and perfect plan. It will all work out, and guide you to where he wants you to be, not where you want to be. As much as I have trouble with doing what God wants me to do, in the end, it’s always works better. God bless you and have a great day.
There's a better job for you out there. God has put His name on it. You just need to find it. Don't ever give up. Make fighting the good fight your occupation.
no coincidences. everything in perfect timing.
Don't be disappointed, fren. Rejoice knowing God has something better planned for you!
