Job False Alarm

Well, yesterday I got the news that the ESD retracted their offer. Yes, that is strange and their reasons are unjust and unprofessional, but I guess the Lord can't make it any clearer than this that that is not where I am supposed to be. I can't deny that I'm disappointed because this was my last full-time interpreting opportunity in the Portland area for this year. So I'm back to square one without any idea what I will do. The one comfort I have is that the Lord is in control and He does know what is best for me. He obviously has something better out there, even though I don't know what that will look like.

Well, I have to put the job hunt on the back burner and focus on Africa- less than 24 hours and I'm off!!! Thank you for your prayers!

I am glad I am not in Portland otherwise I think I would unload on the HR department and ESD leader. You are much more gracious than I. I guess a blessing in disguise is that you do not have to work for these people as that could be frustrating too. We will continue to pray that God brings just the right job when you get back from Africa.
