Don’t give up! My father always tells me, when I seem to miss out on some opportunity, that God has something better in mind for me. Even though I don’t see it, even when I am sure I know better, even when I have so much trouble trusting in Our Lord, He has been faithful, and I have found something better. It happened that way two years ago, when I thought I had interviewed for the perfect job for me; and then, didn’t get it. Within a couple of weeks, I was led to a much better job.
Now that I have been laid off, like Alice in Wonderland, I have to remember to take my own advice.
I will pray for you not to be so discouraged. Don’t give up on the Americorps job, either. I received a message from one work place apologizing to everyone for taking so long to sift through all the resumes they had received. They said they were simply swamped beyond all expectations. I had given up on this Amtrak position I am testing for tomorrow morning, too. So much time had passed, I was sure it had been filled.
My prayers for all of you looking, as I am, too. It is so hard to trust Our Lord and to keep up the courage, but we can do it!
