Listening...

You know, sometimes life is really strange. Kind of like my last couple of days debating on what I was going to do for the break and fall semester...

I had an option to go to Minneapolis, MN and stay with a friend from the mission. The Lord said no. I said okay, but...money, car, friends!!! The Lord repeated, "No."

Another option was to go home and get a job that my mom was pretty sure she could get me into at $10 an hour. I wavered for a moment and when I did I felt I was wrong. Again, the Lord said no, even if it didn't make sense. I mean, I could get a car! I could see family! I asked my land lady to sell my contract. Next morning I asked if she had. She said no and then I cried, don't! I'm staying!

I learned later today that my mom has/had a job interview at another doctor's office willing to pay her what she wants after our conversation about me coming home. I'm sure she'll get the position. In other words? Bye-bye to my job opportunity and no job = no car payment, no car payment = no car, and no car = NO FREEDOM!! I'd have gone nuts for various reasons. Don't get me wrong, I love and miss my family, but it just would have been rough for me socially and mentally.

So, option C was the same as my original plan: Stay in Rexburg and get a job. Only problem with this plan...so far no job. Which was the original glitch with the original plan and started with all the different options and stress...

I went out to run some errands and pick up applications...I wasn't excited about the options and I didn't feel good about any. Then I walk out of Keybank (my bank) and look across the street to US Bank.I've never noticed it before. I get the impression to go in and see if they're hiring... *bashes head* I DIDN'T DO IT!!!! I reasoned that I'd look it up on line. And I did. They're hiring. One teller position open, in REXBURG.

What are the odds? I haven't got the job, in fact, I'm still applying on line. The point, is that I acted on an impression. Granted, a little later than probably ideal, but, it's taught me that God IS involved in the intimate details of our lives, my life and is aware of me, whining and complaining and all. All we have to do, is listen, and then act on the instructions we hear.
