There's something to be said about disappointment. Not only can it knock you down a peg or two, but it can really put a damper on an entire day...or days, in this case.
I didn't get the job.
I've been in a huge bummed out mood every since I found out last night. My boss even said, "I really wanted to give it to you, I really, really did...BUT..." apparently some other guy is just a better fit.
That's fine. I get it.
I still am bummed out and I am really, really disappointed. I think mostly because 1) I was positive the job was mine and 2) I was so looking forward to that family time. I guess I just need to grieve a little because it really feels like a loss.
BUT...
I'm really okay with it. This was not God's will and so therefore, He has something completely else planned. Something bigger and better and something that I just can't see yet because...well, I am not Him. It's a peaceful feeling to know that I am not in control, although at times it can also cause me to grow impatient and dreadful in the waiting. These are just things I need to work on.
In the meantime. I am thankful still that Jeremy and I have the time together that we do, that Henry is still in the care of one of the two of us 99% of the time, and I still have a job that I'm both comfortable and good at, that is reliable and I really don't dislike.
If you ask me, it sounds like I'm living a pretty blessed life.
:( I'm sorry that you didn't get it, but I love your outlook! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jen! It's okay, really it is!
DeleteSorry you didn't get it. :-( I'm sure it is because God has something even better in store for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure He does too. I just have to be patient for a little while longer!
DeleteI'm sorry you didn't get the position. There's another plan, it just stinks you have to wait a little longer to find out what that plan is.
ReplyDeleteHang in there lady. You really are blessed!
Waiting does stink, but that's a part of life! Thanks so much Desiree!
DeleteI'm so sorry, it must have been hard to hear especially since you were so certain about it. I love how positive you are being though, it is so hard to keep in mind that God always does have a better plan!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your disappointment. However, our God is so trustworthy that I am sure He has something better waiting for you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. That really is a big bummer. As you said though, you just have to keep your head up and keep going.
ReplyDeleteKeep your head up! When one door closes another will open in time... =) Have a good weekend and enjoy the family time that you get!
