another job interview!

I have a job interview tomorrow (Monday) at America's Keswick. I've been praying a lot this past week for contentment and a peaceful spirit. I tend to get really excited about things and then when they don't pan out, sink pretty low. I've followed that pattern too many times to count in my hunt for the Job-That-Isn't-Wawa, and I've been really convicted about my idolatrous heart. Tim Keller's book Counterfeit Gods opened my eyes to how I had made a little god out of career success. I don't want to do that again! I'm going to give thanks to the Lord, for HE IS GOOD!

Still, a different job would be nice. To that end, I am going into the interview and the days of uncertainty praying:

1. that God will use my life to glorify Himself. He is worthy of all honor and praise!
2. that I would be content with what God has for me, whatever that is and wherever that leads me.
3. that I would be willing to do hard things and take risks for the Savior and His Kingdom's sake.
4. that as I keep going back to Wawa day after day for however long, I do not begrudge the time and place that God has placed me in.

My desire is for a different job. My hope is in the righteous Lord, who intercedes for me before the Father.
