I am truly astounded at how God works- in the way that He knows is best. I had an interview for a job at Avera McKennan in Sioux Falls about a month ago. I figured they would let me know either way within 2 weeks, but after almost 4 and I still hadn't heard anything, I pretty well had given up. A friend suggested I call HR just to show I'm still interested and find out if the position is already filled. I put that off because my mom and I were heading out to Iowa City for orientation for my RN-BSN program through the University of Iowa. After a full day of shopping followed by a very full day of orientation classes and an overwhelming amount of information we headed back towards the other side of the state. My mom and I talked about how maybe it will be best if I don't get this full time job at this point because with school starting it would be good to be a little less busy and have more time to figure out this school thing first rather than having to figure out school plus a brand new full time job. Well we got home at about 11:30 that evening and I went straight to bed, I was exhausted. I was planning on calling HR at Avera the next morning when I got up. However, much to my surprise, my phone rang at 9:00am with the area code for Sioux Falls. "Serious?! Are they really finally calling me? After I had practically given up on this job and had accepted waiting for the next one?" I answered and got a very cheerful "good morning" from the lady on the other side. Essentially what it boiled down to was they were offering me a job- not quite full time (which was perfect) but it still offered the same benefits as if it were full time. I mean really?! Talk about all this happening at one time!
Trust. That is my day to day struggle. Trust.
