3rd Interview and "Side Trips"
After a few days of anxiously awaiting a call from NB Web Express about moving on to a 3rd round of interviews, I heard a strange buzz emanating from my printer yesterday. Sounds random, right? Well, my printer is cell phone psychic as were my computer speakers in Poland. They know when it's going to ring and get all happy about it, buzzing with anticipation.
It rang. I answered. I'm in! So, tomorrow I have a third interview with NB's head photog and their director of creative services. I'm pumped to say the least. This would be such a great fit from what I know. And trust me, our family could really use the stability that this could afford us.
On an unrelated note, I was reading a post this morning on a photog's blog which I frequent. He was asking some questions about Christianity...sort of why we get upset about the thought of death when we say we are going to spending eternity with Jesus. And further, asking what we think we're going to be doing "up there". It made me think a lot.
My thought was that I really live under my privilege so often. I was worried about that phone call yesterday as the end of the day quickly approached and I still hadn't heard at 4:25p (they called at 4:30p). I've been doing quite well in the trusting department but it does get tough. And we are human. We will screw up and we will step away from God. In short, we will sin.
I was reading in Proverbs 4 this morning and in the New Living it said that we should mark out a straight path for ourselves and stick to the path...no "side trips" (my paraphrase). That's a great challenge for me...especially for the next few days as I interview and then hear if I get the job or not. My straight path is knowing that God is in control and that He will provide for my family. Side trips would be to begin worrying and get discouraged and defeated.
The question for us all to consider is what are we missing out on by taking our own little side trip adventures?
Stay tuned for news on the job!
