God is amazing! Nothing about that statement is new to me and it shouldn't be to you either, but this week He has revealed it all over again. Yesterday was an interview for what I want to do next year and more importantly the rest of my life! Needless to say I was just a little nervous! One of the things I love about the church family though is the support and love that is available to you. I asked so many people to support me with prayer and there were so many of my church family that were willing to help and give me advice and encouraging words. I don't know what I would do without my family, both the blood family and the church family. Just knowing that people are praying is wonderful enough. I know that I would be lost without that support system and I would find life so lonely without the knowledge of a church family loving me and being there for me. Tuesday was generally a relaxed day where I distracted myself by knuckling down to work and later going to a friend's house for dinner. As the evening drew to a close, my Mum prayed for me, (via the phone) which always brings me peace and is something I am so grateful for. I'm so blessed to have parents that care and show an interest. I love the fact that because of what God did for me I get to talk to Him. I've done nothing to deserve it! After sorting out my bag, clothes and general bits and bobs for the next day I sat down and prayed a last long winded repetitive prayer. And God gave me this amazing sense that He was listening and that yes He will be there tomorrow, peace was mine and I fell to sleep no problem!
I prayed these things: For blue sky and nice weather-so that I can feel motivated and be in a good mood. To know at least one person during the interview day. That my interviewer would make me feel comfortable and be friendly. That the day would go quickly and would hopefully finish relatively early! Such small little things to ask a great big God, that to be honest wouldn't appear to require much faith, especially when you look at Biblical times when they asked for fire and waited for walls to crumble! I woke up a little early and the first thing I did was look out at the window with an expectant heart. My heart was overjoyed with the beauty that the morning held...blue sky with a touch of pink and a few wispy clouds-Thank you God! I went feeling fairly calm and although once I got there my nerves were playing on me, God had His way of making me smile...The first person I bumped into was a friend from back home that I hadn't seen at uni for a while! Amazing! It then turned out that another person on my course was attending the day also and I was able to spend most of the day with him! The day continued pretty fast (another prayer answered) and surprisingly pretty well. Next for the interview...It was the friendliest interviewer possible, and although he tested me and pushed my knowledge I felt at ease and we chatted comfortably. I was even able to talk about church and the Bible with him. (Not totally as holy as it sounds) Answer to another prayer! And if all that wasn't enough...I finished at 1pm not the 5pm that had originally been stated. Hallelujah! I was blown away by God's faithfulness and attention to my prayers. I don't why I should be, after all He is the most incredible God that time after time sticks by my side, listens and loves me. How amazing that God went with me to a tiny interview (in comparison to Him) and stayed by my side. That before the day started He knew the interviewer, the weather, the people I'd meet and the exact timing of everything. But God likes to do things His way and with His own special flare...I was told that I would know of the results within the next 2 weeks. They emailed me today and told me I had a provisional place! So although it is not a definite God has got me this far and He will get me the rest of the way, whatever that way is! All I need is Him. He is enough. He is all I want. I don't just want Him when I have challenges to face and tough times ahead, but I want Him in everything. I want Him before I sleep, when I wake, when I cry, laugh, dance and sing I want Him there. I love you God.
