An Answered Prayer

I just wanted to take a few minutes to update everyone that has been praying for me and following what has been going on with me.

For the past 20 years I have worked at the same place for the same person. As an office manager for a small individually-owned business. I love my job. I love what I do. However, it is an extra-curricular type business (Taxidermy). Which means it is more of a pleasure than a necessity for people. Last August (2010) business began to slow down considerably and we had to cut hours. Everyone's hours including mine. Since August I have been looking for a new job. Either a full-time job with equal hours and pay, or for a part-time job to compensate for the hours I would be losing. Nothing seemed to work out for several weeks ... weeks that turned into months...

I looked, I applied, I looked, and applied some more.. with no success.

Then one day, while sitting in my car (yes, feeeling sorry for myself). I was reminded of the scripture Psalm 37:4 that says... "Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the deisres of your heart. I realized that even though I had friends praying with me and for me...I myself had neglected to ask God for "specifically" what I wanted (desired). So, I prayed that God would open a door and provide something for me.

Over the next couple of weeks I went on several interviews, I didnt really feel impressed that any of these were for me ... BUT I didnt want to be too picky or miss what God may have for me... so I waited patiently...but nothing worked out. But I held fast to the promises of God.

Then the week of January 10th-14th--on Wed. the12th--I went on an interview (that lasted about 10 minutes), I left there thinking... hum...nice guy, nice possibility. But strange interview...so short...

Later while I was at work (at my regular job), the phone rings and they (the place I interviewed) was calling for an employee reference. (No, I didn't give my own reference, I let the boss). Then about a half an hour later they called me on my cell phone and offered me the job. I started there on the following Wednesday the 19th of January.

God is faithful!!!

Let me say that again,

God is faithful... He didn't just give me a job...He gave me OVER and ABOVE what I had asked.

I am so pleased with the new part-time job He has given me. They are very nice people to work for and with. Plus, I can still wear the same casual clothing I am use to...AND it is only about 5 minutes from my other job. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!

Thank you God for your blessings on me. I am so grateful. You "God" are my provider.


Let me just say, God's timing is perfect.....

Blessings to all of you... thank you for praying with me.

If you desire something, why not ask your Heavenly Father...He is more than able.....
