My Cup Overflows ....

Today I truly feel as those I am blessed beyond measure. The reality is I'm blessed that way everyday if I would only choose to recognize it. God is Good!

Yesterday, as I drove into the parking lot at work I came to the realization that the two internal jobs I had posted for were probably not going to work out. It had been at least two weeks for the most recent of the two and probably a week or so back for the first one. I figured if I had not heard by now then they probably were considering other candidates and I would get the 'thanks but no thanks' email very soon. I was OK with that. My prayer is that I end up where God wants me and if this was the case then that was His will and I really had a peace about it instead of the normal twinge of sadness. Then, yesterday afternoon I got a call on my cell phone from the hiring manager of one of the positions. She is setting up times for next week to meet and talk to those being considered and she's like to meet with me. Wow! A total 'He Speaks to Me moment'. Just when I had given up, God said not so fast. Now, I might not get the spot but I have an interview! Again, I want to be where he places me so I am praying that His will will be done here. I'm excited.

Also, yesterday, I spoke with a friend of mine who had reached out to me about a spot she had opened at her company for a contractor. She was looking for someone now and wanted to know if I knew of anyone. During our conversation I mentioned my date would be 12/31 and I asked if she could keep me in mind for anything that might be coming up. She sounded excited and positive about possible work and encouraged me to get her my resume so she could put me in front of people that she knew.

So, the bottom line here is that God will provide. He does all the time. I'm thankful for this time in the wilderness that He has drawn me close. I really would like to get the lesson right this time that I do not need to control my life because He has it all under control. I simply need to trust and follow Him. My cup overflows ....
