I got an answer to a prayer today.When I was leaving the in-branch interview for the Personal Banker position (the second interview) I was still unsure if it was the place I was supposed to work. So on the way home I prayed that God show me if it was for me: specifically, I said that if it wasn't for me that I not get the offer. I got a call today and didn't get the job.
The manager said I was the best interview he'd ever had (and he's been a manager for 10 years) so that was good. He told me it was a VERY hard decision but they ended up offering the job to someone internally (and who lived closer). He strongly encouraged me to apply for the same position at a North Portland branch that just became open (which I had already done) and said that when I get an interview again, he'd give me a recommendation to the hiring manager.
So God did answer my prayer, and He did it just like I asked. I'm actually pretty glad I didn't get the job - I don't really want to work in Canby, especially since we've been putting Audrey to bed between 6:30 and 7:00. However I don't know if I would have been able to say no, had I been offered the job. So I'm back out there on the market, and I'm praying that I'll hear back from either another WaMu branch (closer to Vancouver) or another company.
Keep praying for me! :)

I'm glad that worked out for you chris. I hope you don't have to wait too long to get into the position you want
Isn't it great when God makes things work out for the best. Honestly, if life had been up to me, I never would be as happy as I am now. I'm glad you have the presence of mind to see things that way. Best of luck.
