Finding Opened Windows

Last night, I finally heard back from the company with which I interviewed.  Apparently it was a "hard decision" but they chose the person they wanted to hire, and it's not me. Bummer. Once again I have found a path that God didn't want me to travel down.  I guess the endeavor of working every weekend for the next who-knows-how-long isn't right for me or my marriage right now. I had planned out all sorts of scenarios in my mind to settle my unease about being away from Brian on his only days off, but it still did not feel right. I would not be able to visit with any of my friends, my family, or go on a trip if I were to be hired in that job position.  On top of all those missed opportunities, I would not be able to attend Sunday morning worship and I guess that's not the best plan for us, either.  Even though this is yet another closed door on my journey to finding my career, there will be a window, somewhere, somehow. I've just got to trust that God will shine some light through that window, even if it's just slightly cracked open, and I'll be able to find it and jump through it. 

"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:28-31, KJV
