Caja De Sorpresas

I had such a hard time getting to sleep last night. When that happens, it usually means that something is going on with my children, but I didn't get that kind of vibe last night. I tried to get comfortable, but I kept tossing and turning, and when I felt as if I might be going to sleep, something/someone woke me up to go to the bathroom~~not once but several times~~even after I had just gone!!

 

OK, God! What are you trying to tell me? I sat up and took out my Bible from the drawer next to my bed. I opened the Bible and looked for the three dollars that I had placed in there in faith. I touched the money in prayer, confident that God was going to help me to stretch my money for all of my needs. I was at peace about that, but why was I still wide awake? It was almost 3:00 in the morning. What? What was God trying to tell me? I looked through my Bible for marked passages. I opened and re-opened the Bible to see if there was a word somewhere, but no. 

 

Maybe there was something on TV? Nothing but info-mercials. Then, I turned to the phone. There was a message. An employer was calling me in for an interview!

 

I shook my head and laughed at all this drama that God puts me through sometimes. His humor never ceases to amuse me. Sure enough, as soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep.

 

This morning, I woke up before 8. I was going to give them a few minutes before I called them, but the phone rang before I could call them. The interview was scheduled for this afternoon.

 

I was so nervous. Why was I so nervous? I took a bath, hoping that it would help me to relax. It was hard to match up an outfit, because what I wanted to wear, I was unable to match.  After going through several selections of trying to match clothes and jewelry, I finally decided on a faithful black skirt and jacket and a tank top that looks like tapestry with red and yellow flowers. I added a pearl necklace with a citrine cross, but I couldn't find my earrings box, so I had to go without earrings. I feel naked without earrings. I even forgot to wear my watch! And out of all the purses I own, I never replaced my worn out black purse? I needed a simple black purse today. 

 

I felt so disorganized! Although some of my things are in order, I am not finished organizing my bedroom. I talked to God about helping me to get all of my things organized so that I won't have to be spending so much time looking for stuff.

 

As I tried to make something presentable out of my wild curls, I prayed to God to grant me favor and to help me to make a good impression. I gave myself one last glance in the mirror and said out loud~Well, God, this is the best I can do considering the weight I have gained... but as I walked away, it was as if God told me that He would take care of that, too. And then, I smiled, and walked out the door.

 

   Driving felt strange. It wasn't as if I wasn't familiar with the area, but I ended up missing the exit. OMG... I kept praying not to be late...

 

I was interviewed by a man and a woman. I was pretty nervous. Although I qualify for this position and the interviewers were receptive, I did not use my best interviewing skills. The interviewers seemed upset that they can only recommend someone to the director. They said that it will be the director who would decide  who gets hired. That is kind of strange, too, that I will not get to meet who hires me until after the fact... if they hire me. 

 

I must have looked shocked when they asked me about my organizational skills. I wanted to laugh because I felt as if it was God who was asking the question. Stop teasing me, God!!! Laughing out loud at I cannot believe His sense of humor!

 

So... if I get the job, I will take it. If I don't get the job... well, at least, I got the opportunity to interview. Hopefully next time, I will do better...

I had planned to deliver applications to two places today, but God sent me to an interview instead. I had planned to go to the sea tomorrow, but I may have to go leave those applications instead. 

 

Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.

 

OK~so I just finished looking in Tidbit's cage. How did she lay an egg without Max? She is sitting on the egg and is very protective of the egg. OMGG...

 

Vida, Caja de Sorpresas, historias que me faltan por contar!
