But I am not supposed to have them all.
My dad is still out of work. Almost 6 months now and after many, many interviews, there is nada.
They tell him that he is one of the higher ranking candidates, but yet, he doesn't get it.
Why?
He has been interviewing for jobs from Washington to California to Ohio to Delaware and Maryland. But none have chosen this amazing man,
So, Where?
Every company has an idea of the type of person they want to hire, and most of the time, my dad has met those expectations.
Who do they want?
6 months.....
When is something going to happen?
What is the best thing for him and our family?
It's not about the who, the what, the when, the why, or even the How.
It's about trusting in the Lord.
Staying humble so His spirit can provide inspiration and peace to our minds.
This isn't the first time my dad has lost his job. I wouldn't say we are used to it, but it is no new situation for us.
On Sunday, we had a little Hall meeting with all the girls in my building. Unfortunately, not a lot of girls came, so they missed out on some really great insights.
We watched Elder Holland's Mormon Message "Good things to Come".
We talked afterwards about how we need to stay patient at all times and humble so the Lord can always bless us.
I had this thought about a story I read and my mom always told it to me. In the story, it refers to God as being the 4th watch God.
Well what does that mean?
Well they would describe it as such. On a boat, they men would take turns staying awake and letting the others sleep. These would be divided into what was called as "Watch's". They lasted about 3-4 hours. Well, on the boat, there was a terrible storm, and the men were so worried. They thought the Lord would come and save them right away, but alas, He did not. Each watch passed as slow as it could have possibly gone and right at the moment, when almost all hope was gone, in the 4th watch, the Lord came and rescued them.
It is hard. It is painful to see how hard it is.
But it will pass.
