I Got at Job! Praise God!!!

Today I finally heard back from LA Health Action on the Program Assistant position that I've been hoping to get, and they want to hire me! I'm so jazzed about this position because its exactly what I have been looking for-health policy and advocacy. Not only that, but it also has a generous benefits package, great pay, public transit is reimbursed, Christmas off, and two weeks vacation. I've been in a state of euphoria all day today, and feel a compulsive urge to hug everybody! Or as I'm walking down the street, I imagine there is a great big thought bubble above my head that reads, "This person is extremely happy!"

I have to give glory to God for this job because many times I could have settled for something else, or gone the "safe" route but I clearly sensed God telling me to wait on his timing and to be patient. Previously I was offered another job at a community hospital that could have been a good option, but they wanted a decision right away and I wanted to wait on this job. So, they took someone else and I felt really vulnerable staking all my hopes on this uncertain job prospect. However, God has a reason for everything and my roommate pointed out that having waited so long for a job I am now more able to trust God and depend on him completely to provide. So many times I prayed against anxiety and experienced peace that didn't make sense, and I have seen that he is faithful.

One verse that has been particularly fitting is Romans 8:28-- And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. How true this is!
