I went on a job interview today. I went fully prepared to run in and run out. I just knew that I had it in the bag. I knew I’d get a second interview because I am knowledgeable in that field and I am quite passionate about it. I was cocky.

I practiced my interview skills so that I could impress my interviewer. I explained how I got to where I was and why this was the field of work I chose. We talked shop. She gave me scenarios and I knocked them out. I’ve worked on my communication skills and conflict management and I have the tools to do what I have to do. I flew threw it.

Before she offered me the second interview she asked me what my five year plan was. I gave her a few of my goals and she read me! I can’t even go into all of what she said. I was in tears because EVERYTHING she said was true.

She told me that God’s plan for my life is above and beyond the basic boring goal I had set for myself. She told me to stop being so afraid of failure that I don’t aim for bigger and better things. She told me that the reason I was having a hard time was because I was walking in rebellion that I have to follow God’s lead. How crazy!

This lady doesn’t know me except that she read my resume and talked to me for 20 mins and she was able to tell me what I had been praying about FOR MONTHS! She was able to tell me about desires I had for years! How could she have known any of that?

I learned that God’s hand is so far reaching. He answers prayers in ways you would never expect. I had been yelling at God and crying out desperately wanting him to hear me and Today he showed me that he heard all of it. He dropped and unexpected friend, a beacon of hope in my path today. I needed it.

Who would have thought that I would go on a job interview and find God in an office.
