Emma is constantly saying, "Oh my word!" and I've picked it up. It seems like a title well-suited to this blog post.
About half an hour ago I was chatting with my mom on Skype, updating her on the job situation (spoke with the consultant at the employment agency and their contact isn't in the office today so they should have answer for me tomorrow regarding an interview) and my cell phone rang.
"Hello, this is Bogusia calling from Hampshire County Council and we'd like you to come in for an interview next Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. for the Senior Administrative Assistant position."
Oh my word. I thought I was almost finished waiting for word on possible jobs and now I have to wait another full week for this one! I feel like an ungrateful wretch for being so frustrated by this, but I was really hoping to make a decision a little sooner than that. This is getting drawn out for a reason... I just have no idea what that reason is. I trust that God has a plan and I'm really curious to see how it works out.
I'm now seriously pinching pennies. I have another week to wait for this interview (unless I get hired for something else before then) and I have no idea what I'll do with my time between now and then. I can't even afford to use public transit to go into town every day to volunteer somewhere.
I think I need to go to the library and get a big stack of books. Any suggestions for topics I should study or specific titles I should check out?

Hi Amanda,
Looks like it's the perfect time for fasting, reading God's Word and prayer, seeking and knowing what God wants you to do with your life and more importantly what He wants you to do for Him! When your life is in tune with His Will, it will play like the perfect orchestra piece and everything will fall in place. God loves you and He wants the best for you. Trust and obey!
Blessings,
Amanda S.
Amen! :-) It's interesting watching life unfold in baby steps... it's the not knowing that's not much fun, but it's part of the grand adventure of life. As frustrating as some of them moments may be, I can't help laughing at how God changes "my" plans to keep me on my toes.
Have I ever told you how impressed and excited I am just by reading your words ! You remind me how many times I felt I could remove all doubt by not waiting for God's answer. I could just jump into a situation and because He loves me, it would turn out ok. Not the right attitude and not the right process and certainly not the way to experience His blessings. Thank you my dear granddaughter, for continually restoring my faith and reminding me in Whom I have faith. He is constant and faithful throughout every day, every experience. I think so often of Hazel's words "Never mind. God knows" .. Yup ! He does know and He delights in walking with you on every pathway.
Luv U Panda ..

Sometimes the orchestra piece sounds more like a long run of individual instruments in a jazz tune. Everything may fall into place for those who are martyred for their faith, or for believers starving in underdeveloped countries, but it may not play like an orchestra piece. At least, not from this side of heaven. Those individuals may have God's peace, but can we please avoid the syrupy Christianese?
