Early in November, I applied for a contract job that I thought would be right up my alley. I interviewed within a week with the staffing agency. A couple of weeks went by and the client asked to interview me by phone. I thought I had a pretty good shot.
In the meantime, Dad decided he would go on a cruise for Thanksgiving and invited me to go with him. While I wanted to go on the cruise, I had to wait and see what happened with the job. A week later, I found out that I didn’t get the job, so I planned on going with Dad. We had a great time. It was nice to get away from the job search for a few days and relax.
We arrived in port early on the Sunday morning after Thanksgiving and I decided to check my messages while we were waiting to get off the ship. I have five messages from the staffing agency! The person they had placed was unable to continue and they wanted to know if I was still interested and if I could start Monday. I called Sunday, got my paperwork filled out and started Tuesday!
This was one of those great, unexpected gifts from God. He managed to work it out so that I got to go on the cruise AND get the job. That’s something only He could have orchestrated.
