Interview Please???

Well after hearing about a job that I actually liked and hoped that I got, printing out the application, resume, and cover letter, only to find that there was a mistake but had no time to fix it (I eventually did :) then trying to find an office after walking all over this hospital I found the office and dropped off my packet to apply.  I really wanted to take it in person, thinking that might help, funnily enough there was no one in the office due to a meeting, so I just had to leave it there in an envelope.  All I could do was laugh.

I would love for you to pray with us that I at least get an interview for this position.  I have applied for tons of positions and all of them are okay and a job, but for some reason this one I really want.  Now, I don't know much about the place other than what is written, but I am just drawn to it.  It is with the Department of Health Board that works with community and will get me seeing the community and helping people in areas that I haven't known exactly how to break into.   For quite awhile now I feel like there has been stirrings in my heart to be helping those that need help and empowering in the community that have lower incomes.  Ironically, Sam and I are going to some of those places currently  :)  Maybe that is all apart of God's plan to give us insight in areas that we have never seen or experienced.  It is very eye opening and even humbling, but the compassion that is being birthed in us is beyond what we could conjure up ourselves.  

I haven't known how to get in some of these streams to began to start helping or volunteering or even working, but it's been in my heart.  I have always just loved being a part of helping people in hard situations.  The majority of my favorite moments have seem to be in poor places in developing countries, but I have always longed to do it in the place I was living and while I know there are ways to get involved I just haven't done it or figured it out.  At the end of the day Sam and I want to bring hope to people, hear stories, tell stories and use what we were created to do in order to serve people.  

All that said, if nothing else the process of this application helped even focus me that much more.  At the same time, it also showed me how much fear is in me concerning jobs, getting fired, and/or hearing hard things about myself.  I can't walk in fear and I won't.  It has been a bit scary but each time I take another little step I feel more and more strength in God.  To live out my talents and giftings is God's desire for me, and I want what He has for me.  

With that said, will you pray specifically with me that I get an interview for the executive/personal assistant at Department of Health Board in the Bay of Plenty?  The position closes next Friday.  Thanks for praying for us and helping hold faith when we are barely holding on.
