Toyota
For the past month and a half, I have been in the application process for the Toyota plant in San Antonio. I have gone through a 5 hour computer skills assessment and a 9 hour physical ability assessment. All the while I have been praying like I have never prayed before that God will open this door and allow me to work there. At every stage of the application process, it felt so good to feel that he was taking his time and allowing everything to fall into place. But...now the doubt is starting to creep in. What if, no matter how badly I want to get this job, God doesn't have it in his plan for me? I have been BEGGING in prayer for this to happen and now my prayers are earnestly asking for his plan to change to include this happening for me. Is it wrong to question his plan? To see so much good that could come from this and to want it so badly, yet knowing that there is a chance that he may not allow it to happen. It is beginning to worry me that I may harbor some resentment if it doesn't happen. That, I know is wrong on all levels and it scares me to think those feelings could arise. So, i'd just like to ask that everyone remember me in your prayers and pray that Toyota becomes a part of my very near future.

How do you know this wasn't his will to begin with? He may still be taking his time. Trusting in the waiting is the hardest. Keep up the prayer. He is listening.
It is really difficult to sit back and let God work His will in our lives. Sometimes, we think we know best and He just keep doing His thing in our lives anyway.
The upside is this:
HE WILL work in our lives.
Yes, the ride is bumpy to say the least and we all end up taking a few detours but if we open our hearts and let God in he takes us from wherever we are or wherever we have been and guides us back to His side and makes it all work out.
It is amazing!
I love you, Jamie. I pray that He works in your life and puts you where you want to be and helps you to find success, appreciation and happiness.
I find myself growing impatient with God's answer to a specific prayer; it almost feels like a battle of wills to see who "knows best" in the situation. All I can say is, don't give up. Remember the Persistent Widow.
