God has been absolutely amazing! For the longest time I have been eying for a job, a job anywhere where I can gain some sort of experience. I applied for a university job a few weeks ago. The first time round, my resume was blocked from the employer's email account. Second time, I handed in my resume and application in person.

2 weeks passed, and I felt like I was holding my breath in vain. I forgot about wanting a job for a few days, since I have been running doing errands and spending time with my grandma.

Ever since school ended, I have been praying for a job, everyone around me was employed and I felt inadequate, but through it all, with the support of Richard and my family, we kept praying and putting out trust in God.

It was frustrating at first, and a few times, but I slowly learned humility and patience. It was a long and slow process of change, but I am grateful to God that He laid out His will slowly, letting me grow and experience the lessons that I needed to have. His patience with me is amazing, and my trust and love for Him has grown. Even though I was saddened at times, I kept my hopes in Him, not in the hope of finding a job, but faith in the knowledge that whatever happens, God has His way and He has a lesson for me.

I was washing the dishes in the sink when the phone rings.
Caller ID "University of Alberta Hospital"
Hm, I wonder, who in the world could that be?
"Hi, can I speak to Felicia please?
"Speaking, how can I help you?"
"Hi Felicia, it's Sherry Noseworthy. I was wondering if you have a job right now?"
"No, I dont" (Heart pounding away)
"Ok, well, I have a clerical job for you. The student who was doing that job has stopped because she has graduated from the Faculty of Nursing. We have a position open and we were wondering if you can Have orientation on Monday and start work, but we also need to know if you are eager and willing"
"I think it'll be safe to say that I'm bouncing off the wall right now"

We talked about starting the job, when, how much and how often. Bottom line, I'm totally excited about my new job. I'm ever so thankful to many people in my life. The next thing to look foward to is actually starting the work and dealing with what I need to do.

God is Amazing.
