So... I turned down a job

Since about October I have been on the look out for a job. I have a flexible schedule which would allow me to work Friday, during the day and also Wednesday!

I first was seriously looking to be a hostess/server at Red Robin or Chiles. I then started to think about a hole in the wall lunch/dinner place, more along the lines of La Boulanger or something like that. So I waited. I had been checking Craigs list and other job sites for about six months, when I finally thought I found the perfect job.

I emailed the lady, and called her a couple times until I go through to her. She told me to come on down and we could have an interview. That was my first real job interview, so I was a little nervous, but everything went really well. I had misjudged the place itself, it was more like a fancy sandwich place, nothing really special. I went home and just thought about it, and also prayed about it.

On Sunday night, I got a call telling me I got the job, but I no longer wanted it. I came to realize that the extra income would be very nice, but the time I have is not all my own. I have some dedicated to my friends, some to working at church, some to homework and some for whatever else comes up. I did not feel sad at all turning it down, more I felt relieved!

God showed me he would provide for me, at least through this part of my life. Out of the blue I ended up with three babysitting jobs that weekend. I'm not worried, I trust God's timing and plans over mine.
