So I know it's been a while... I've had so many times recently when I have thought to myself "I so need to blog this!" and then I get sidetracked = Not Cool -_-

But this is way important and quite impactual on my life.

I moved to Queensland halfway through May this year and I spent the next Month trying to find a job. There were two very promising jobs that I found and surprisingly I was rejected for the first one (I came second in choice) just before my interview for the second job. The interview went amazingly well, he interviewer pretty much gave me the job on the spot and the choice of a new store or an old one - whichever I wanted.
And then it happened.
I confirmed the work hours.
Bum-bowm.
I had to work Sundays, albeit occasionally, I can't.
I had made the decision to find a job that didn't require me to work Sundays so I could go to church. When we discussed this in the interview it pretty much halted the conversation and ended my potential in that job.
Chris and I started our drive home and I was feeling extremely deflated and a bit depressed about everything... 2 hours and 2 knock-backs. It was a huge blow to my self-esteem. I was praying silently on the way home that I would find a job soon because I showed that I was committed to not working on Sundays.

A couple of days passed and I just couldn't find the motivation to look for more jobs or apply for anything - I was so blergh! I was killing time and avoiding the situation online and looking at clothes and shoes that I had no money for to make me feel better. I was checking my emails and noticed one from a company I had applied for weeks ago. On the application it stated that if after two weeks I had not heard I was unsuccessful so it was a bit of a surprise to see it there after four weeks.
It was a simple one line "Hi Jac, I have a position at _____ if your still interested."
Of course I jumped at!
Had the interview 3 days later and started work a week from receiving the interview. I don't have to work Sundays, I get a decent rate of pay for the industry and commission on top of that too! I also have options to progress further if I want or if I want to study I can do that. It was perfect!
The store where I am placed is fantastic, I love working there and actually look forward to going to work each day too.

Bottom line: I had to prove that I saw the importance of not working on Sundays to be open to the right job for me. Heavenly Father needed me to act in faith to be blessed. And blessed I am.
