Patience....and trust. Hmmm...

So today God is teaching me patience. Scott applied for a job two weeks ago tomorrow. Not just any job, either-nope- it's like his dream Job. Yeah, so...he turned in his application on a thursday. on the following tuesday -yes, that's two business days later- he got a call asking him to come for an interview the next Monday. Scott has applied for a few other jobs, and we never ever heard anything. and frim what we have heard, the County takes forever to do anything, so this was a huge surprise. Then, Scott goes to his interview this monday, and he finds out that 50 people applied for this job-and they interviewed.....THREE! First, that says a lot about Scott- that out of 50 people, they saw him as one of the only three people they wanted to consider for this job. That's pretty good. Right? so he said he felt like the interview went really well. like he did well, and he had fun. he likes to interview. So then he tells me that he will find out on friday. Wow! that's soon! i couldn't believe how soon! HMPH! i had no idea how LONG four days is-or can be! I thought it would just fly! Again, HMPH!!! Well, today is wednesday, so it's been just under two days. i am so nervous! i mean, i know money cannot buy us happiness and all that, but it will provide us with some security so we can live and minister not so hand to mouth ...i know God has the best for us, and i know it will all work out just fine, but at this moment i am just so afraid he won't get the job. it would be easy not to have my hopes so set if it were not between Scott and only 2 others. the statistics of it are what makes it so tense. i know that i am supposed to be learning both patience and trust right now but it is really hard! Father, give me Your peace and teach me to trust that You have Your best in store for us.
