Today, I had a job interview. I was nervous and excited, but mostly excited. In my mind, I was already planning the celebration for finally being employed after a year out of a job. But alas, it didn’t go as planned.

Actually, it went exactly the way God planned. Just not how I in my own vivid imaginations planned. It ended up being a call center job that I was being considered for and even the thought of being on the phone all day in a customer service setting freaks me right out.

I’m not saying it’s a bad job. Some people are wired for that sort of work. They come alive in that kind of high energy, high pressure environment. Just not me.So here I am, feeling a bit disappointed. I also feel a bit like I’m back to square one. But when I’m honest, I remember that God’s right there with me. His perfect plan is still in place. He still knows the plans He has for me and He still works all things together for good for me.

As the praise song goes, “even when I can’t see it, You’re working. Even when I can’t feel it, You’re working.”

That’s true whether I can see it or feel it or not. God doesn’t require for my faith to be perfect before He acts on my behalf. All He asks for is faith the size of a tiny mustard seed. I can even say, “Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief” and He will still hear me and heal me.

In the meantime, I continue to pray and do my part, trusting that God has been doing His part all along. I know that my hope in an unchanging God will not disappoint me now or ever.
