Many thanks to all of you for your prayers, support and encouragement. You guys are making me strong and have contributed so much to my recovery, more than I could ever express through words. My heart sometimes feels like it's over-flowing. Never thought I would ever have so much joy.

The interview went well. I looked good and was calm. I did an awful lot of praying on the way there and put my trust and faith into God's hands. He has blessed me!

I gave some thought as to how much money I need to live on, comforably...not luxuriously. And I gave some thought as to when I could start the new job. Then I handed it over to my Higher Power. So, I got there feeling relaxed. I had a good interview, and the lady there said that I have made a good impression on her. Whilst I was there, the owner called. He is somewhere in the States setting up a new enterprise and we spoke to each other. He asked me what I thought about the DVD shop, about the working times and my general impression of everything. I told him that I really wanted the job if the salary is sufficient for me to live on. He asked me what my minimum need is. I told him and he said, though he is not able to give me an exact number today, that he thought I would be getting more than the figure I had named. He then asked me if 1st November would be alright for starting work....it is exactly what I had in mind. God is great!

So now all I have to do is wait for the contract to be drawn up, sent and signed.

I thanked God and asked Him on my way home if I could trust all of this. He said "yes Angela, you can trust this. I love you and always have your best interests in mind. I told you that your life is in my hands and that I will look after you always."

Thank you friends....this day was made for the Lord. Praise be to Him.

Thank you for keeping me clean and sober today

Peace to you all

So pleased to hear about the job offer and that you felt so good about it all but I am even more pleased to hear about what you have learned about trusting God, I think your faith just grew a lot and that really is a cause for celebration.
Hope you enjoy the job.

I apologize for not having the time to be around much and missed your last post, but I am thrilled for you beyond words at the results of Letting Go and Letting God. After reading this, this is definately a lesson in humility, faith, trust and most of all...patience...which I needed reminded of. Thank you so much for your experience, your inspiration, and for being a part of my recovery! ♥

Angela,
I didn't read this blog first and I am glad I didn't-
I wrote in your previous blog about you getting something of your heart's desire and it appears that it may be awfully close!!
How wonderful for you and I truly hope all the details work in your favour.
Thanks for the example of faith at work!!

Angela -
     Sounds like you had a excellent day. While it take a while and a lot of practice to learn that trust - the payoff is the cat's meow!
YFIR,
Dennis
