the last time i sat in such an intense anticipation of a phone call, it was a boy, and i was no likely older than 18. but at 25, i sit--reading, watching sermons, praying, pacing-- anything to take my mind off of the fact that in 30 minutes to 2 hours, my entire life could be radically changing. i will either go back to square one, trusting that the Lord is Lord and He has a plan for me; one that this 4th grade teaching position would keep me from. or i will be full-fledged-flung-forward, launching my career as a teacher; ending my 7-month hiatus (really, an entire year) from full-time, paid employment. this phone call could be the call that changes everything; or as Mat Kearney tells us, "we're all just one phone call from our knees."
either way, i am trusting that the Lord of Lords, my King, my God knows His plans for my future. and i know that all things work together for the good of those who love Him. job or no job, this works to lead me in pursuit of His will, all for His glory. even just going into the interview, i prayed that He would be glorified through it. that my stewardship of passion and knowledge and purpose would shine, as a testament to His glory.
and so, i wait. patient and eager, just like those phone calls from a million miles away. only difference is, this one is coming.
