Interview completed. Now we wait!

My husband had his interview and it went really well. Really well. It lasted TWO HOURS! He said he felt comfortable and it was really more of a conversation than an uptight interview setting. I was so happy to hear this and I am hoping that this could really be the one.

Unfortunately, the lady he interviewed with is on vacation this next week, so the soonest he might hear back would be the week of July 4th. If he is called back, there would be a follow-up interview with the director and a member of HR. This is torture. He feels confident about it and I am too. But the waiting game just really sucks. He has waited so long for an opportunity to come along and for a door to be opened. I know that a matter of days will not make or break him --- but I am anxious for him to be blessed with a job. This job, in particular, will capitalize on his education and experience while allowing him to learn new things as well.

God, I am nervous. I am anxious. I am praying hard that this is part of your plan. I cannot handle more disappointment for my husband. He is too smart, hardworking and brilliant to be sitting on the sidelines any longer. He needs a blessing, God. Please place your hands on him and this job situation. Surround my husband with strength, confidence, peace and the mentality to break out of this funk and claim this job. We believe in your power and pray that this will be the long awaited job blessing we have been asking for.

Thank you for all you've done and all you are going to do.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

From cover letter to interview!

Randomly, my husband texted me yesterday to say, "Hey, I forwarded you an email. I need help with a response." When I opened the email, it was a job he had applied for asking for a detailed cover letter. Ok, I can do this. I can break out some brilliance for the sake of my boo. It took me all of 20 minutes to put it together and then I sent it back to him.

About an hour later...

He texts me again... only this time, to tell me that he had a 2:00 interview for Monday. Say what!?? I replied with a "Dang, my cover letter must've been bangin'!" - but in the back of my throat, I could feel tightness like tears would shortly follow. Could this be it? Could this finally be the blessing we have been praying for?

I pray for my husband... even more than I pray for myself... that this will be the opportunity that changes his situation and blesses him immensely. I pray this organization will be open, patient and accepting of my husband, his strengths and weaknesses and welcome his desire to work hard and do a good job. As much as I desire a new job, I have an even greater desire for my husband to find work and feel like he is successful at this point in his life.

Praying. Praying hard.
