Last night, my friend H. and I spent some time praying together about our frustrations at work...and mostly, we prayed for those at work who irritate us the most. It totally went against our flesh; we just wanted to gripe about the situation and talk about how much we dislike these people. But, we felt convicted to pray...so we did.
I can't help but think that it is because of our obedience that God brought a new possibility into my circumstances today. A couple months ago, I heard through a friend that a local clinic was hiring. I called only to find that they had already filled the position. They took down my name and said they'd call if something opened up. Well, this morning they called...and I have an interview set for tomorrow morning at 9:30!
Even if nothing comes of this, I know that this is a gentle reminder from the Lord that He takes care of His children. I've known His faithfulness in the past, but life has a way of clouding my memory. It's much easier to look at the high waves and rough seas instead of trusting that I can walk on the water toward my awaiting Savior. Thankfully, He is still there to lift me up again even when I start to sink.
