I usually am not the type to ask for prayer, but after a long 8 months of looking for a job I am going to ask for a little help on this one. I have given my resume to just about every medical office here in Rockwall hoping to get a shot and so far no good. I was beyond excited that my resume got pushed to the top (after a wonderful man went out on a limb and put in a good word for me) at the church. I was even more delighted after my interview went perfect, to me it did at least. After waiting a grueling 2 months for a response from them, I finally got the call that they had given the position to someone else. I think I was more let down by the fact that I missed out on a job that was going to be totally surrounded with God. I thought how great of a job is it when you pray together before every meal and your entire day is centered on serving the Lord. I also thought it was an amazing way for me to give back to my church since I am not equipped with the funds to give every week. I think that is why I was so let down. In a way me not having a job has been a blessing in all sorts of ways. The first blessing was that I have been able to repair my self from the previous damage I have done in the past few years. To wrap up years of self destruction in to only 8 months of healing is incredible to me. In no way am I saying I am complete and solid now, but I saw the light. That phrase and song mean more to me than you will ever know..."Praise the Lord I saw the light.." I saw the light of the Lord and I not only let it shine on me, I bathed in it. I soaked up every bit of that light and let it pour into the deepest parts of my soul. Apart from my spiritual growth I have had the time to work on the physical aspect of my life as well. I have lost a total of 8 pounds, 6 inches, and brought my body fat down 4 points. I feel better and I am beginning to smile at what I see when I look in the mirror. The last and probably my favorite blessing that the Lord has brought me through this would be that I have taken on the privilege and job of watching my precious niece during the week. Being apart of her life and watching her grow is a constant reminder of how great God is. She is beautiful. All of that being said I got called today to come in for an interview at a Physical Therapy office for a therapist tech position. I have had a similar job before and I loved it. I loved working with the patients..esp the elderly ones :). I am asking those of you who read this to please take time and say a little prayer for me. My interview is Tuesday and you better believe I will be spending my weeking refreshing my brain on terms and making sure I am going into that interview as prepared as I possibly can be. It is time, and I am ready to feel accomplished everyday and to have things to learn and duties to fulfill. The verse I chose today means an immense amount to me. My beautiful aunt Stacey, who is such a strong Christian woman and firm in her faith said to me one day"This is your verse". I was in such a transitional place in my life when she said that. This verse has appeared to me EVERYWHERE, I mean out of no where, random places, EVERYWHERE! I have adopted it as my official go to verse.
But those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint. -Isaiah 40:31
Lord thank you for letting me see the light. You are so good and your glory is so bright that I know everyday so many people see that light. If it is your will for me to have this job ease my nerve and help me to be confident in you by my side.
