Another job search update
We heard back from the company my husband interviewed with 6 times. They did not offer him the job.
On one hand, we were relieved. We’ve spent almost 7 weeks in interviews with them, waiting to hear something. We just wanted a resolution.
Now that we have our answer, we can move on.
On the other hand, we are a bit frustrated.
We may not always like the answer we get, but we know that God does have our best interests at heart.
This morning at church, my son went over to the flowerbed and picked a flower for me.
“Ben, we don’t pick those,” I told him.
He became mad. He was trying to do something nice for me, and to him I supposed he thought I wasn’t appreciative.
“These are not wildflowers.” I explained. “They are planted by the church. If every little boy picked one for his mommy we wouldn’t be able to enjoy them.”
He’s just 5, but it does matter. I can’t let him do it, even if it is well- intentioned.
Likewise, I want so much to be able to pick that great job for my husband. And I am well-intentioned. But I honestly know that even if my motivations are good, it is not my place.
So, even though I am struggling between trusting God and crying, I will stand where I belong–on the sidewalk, admiring God’s handiwork, and awaiting his provision.
Please continue praying. It may sound strange, but we actually feel those prayers you pray!
