Okay the odd title comes from the story of Gideon in the Bible and from what I remember he tested God by making him soak a sheep skin and keeping the grass around it dry, to see if he should go to war. Then after that happened that if God made the grass wet and the sheep skin dry then he would go to war.
Lately the past month from the middle of July unto now, has been job hunting. Which for a person who has little job experience and just starting out in the world, is a huge pain in the rear. I can say I have between that time applied to sixty plus places, realistically. If I’m just guessing, I’d say it felt more like a hundred. My father decided that as I was living under his roof that he ordered me to get up by seven, job hunt on the internet until eight or nine then go out and get paper applications and fill those out.
Point is, somethings happened due to the social contract and my behavior, prompting my father to give the Coast Guard my number to have them leave a message on the day of my interview for a company in my town. Needless to say I was unhappy.( The whole thing about the Coast Guard is its my parents idea of getting me to learn motivation and responsibility in a controlled environment…..not very happy with that statement.)
Anyways I go to my interview at the company with ten minutes to spare and this wonderful woman leads me to the interview area, helping me smile and laugh (God totally sent her I think to help me keep calm. 
) I sat on the bench they had as I waited and prayed that I would get the job and God would help me stay calm. I go into my interview and hand the manager my resume who looks over it and says, oh you go to this church? I reply yes I do. And she says, me too I just love the senior pastor. Totally a God thing right there and that we clicked right off the bat during the interview and setting it up (we kept missing each other and played phone tag)
So after she does the interview and lets me ask any questions I have, she offers me a job.
At 8.50 an hour, for a first job.
All I could say was thank you Jesus and yes I will take it.
God totally answered one of the major prayer requests in my life. As for the rest, all will happen in good time.
So excited for my job I cant wait
School starts again soon, and I’m doing Tuesdays and Thursdays leaving the rest of the week open for work and the ability for me to go to my college small group that I have yet to attend but hopefully will soon
Other than that life is good, other than the elephant poem is still very much my life in one relationship. That’s on the prayer list.
Oh well, must run. Will post some more poetry or ramblings here soon.
Bye!
