Jeremiah 29:11

Wow! So much has happened this past week....

Monday was pretty good, nothing too exciting. Most of the teachers were upset that we had to be back at school after such a nice break so they let us out early in most cases. 

On Tuesday, I had my interview for the RA job next semester. It was only about a fifteen minute interview just to get the basics and really just to weed people out for the second round of interviews. I personally hated it. How can you decide whether to ask someone back for the second interview with only that short amount of time? It doesn't make sense. All they asked was questions about a survey we took, why we wanted to be an RA, and what we were majoring in and stuff. Basics. No previous work experience, not how you do in groups and under leadership, no nothing! 

Interview went great, I went to the info-social, and had all of the best qualifications for being an RA. I've worked and cleaned as a camp-staff for the past three years and have worked at the hardware store for 5(ish) years! I'd be the best candidate if I do say so myself.

Sooo....

I got an e-mail this morning saying that I wasn't asked back for the second interview.....Gosh did that hit me! How could someone not choose me? 

Delta. Sorority on campus that I didn't get accepted into because I "lied" and "didn't take it serious enough." I won't go into detail about that stupid situation, but believe me, it's for your own good. Girls were just being mean and what not. 

ANYWAYS. 

Why was I not chosen? 

 This shouldn't happen to me!

                                                   So why did it?

I talked to Mom about it on the phone this morning and she gave some sweet, encouraging words as to why it might have happened. One, simple answer.

God IS watching out for me! 

I don't realize it when I'm getting myself into something, only afterwards. 

Those Delta girls (not bashing them in any way, form, or fashion) were NOT who God wanted me to be with. It was not the kind of relationship with other believers that He wanted me to have. God WAS watching out for me.

This RA position. God probably knew that the people I would be working with next semester weren't the right ones for me either. Again, God WAS watching out for me.

Yes God was and is watching out for me, but where will He put me? Who does he want me to have a strong fellowship with? These are questions that are popping up in my head constantly! Like I said in a previous post, I want that strong connection with someone/somebody's to grow with and rely on! 

But when?

In HIS timing. 

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
