My Big God part 2 ( new job!)

So, turns out this guy is super amazing and lets me edit my Chris and Conrad show interview on his computer. But a few days before we are supposed to meet up my hard drive is completely wiped and I lose the interview. One of my poor friends was over at the time and saw me go into freak out mode for a good five minutes. I calmed down and decided to Trust God, that he knows better than me. If he wants me to not have this interview that maybe it is just not the right timing. I realized at that point, I was holding up this interview as a God, that I thought this interview was so important that the loss of it would ruin my life. Over dramatic, yes I know. Anyway after realizing how ridiculous I was being I was able to pull it together.

Two days pass and turns out my photographer still had it on his computer. Praise the Lord!! I asked God to forgive me for not trusting him.


So, the amazing guy (we will refer to him as AG and I meet up to edit the interview. Turns out the process, is going to take several meetings, as the video needs color correction needed and the render time and compression time are lengthy.


In the course of are meetings, AG is offered a job full time at another organization. He tells me he is going to try to get me into his old job.


The station calls me for an interview and I freak when they tell me the day. The interview is at 10am and at 9am I have interview with the Homeless Shelter for a full time job. I quickly call the Shelter and bump up the interview a half an hour. Okay so now I will have an hour and half between interviews. Which would be cutting it close as one is 30 minutes from the other.


For the station interview they want to see work I have done. I tell them I have my reporter resume tape and they seem kind of blah about that. But than God reminds me about the Chris and Conrad interview!!



AG and I rush to get it done. However it ends up taking till forever, we end up being up till like 2:30ish the night before the interview. When it is all said and done, I end up getting four hours of sleep and didn't even have time to wash my hair before the first interview at the shelter.


Luckily the interview goes quick since I know my interviewer and I dart off to the station. I end by some miracle being like a half hour early? I have no idea how that happened.


The job is part time. 20 hours a week. I pray to God what to do, as the job at the shelter would be full time. God leads me to a chapter in a book I hadn’t picked up in three months. I opened the book where I left off and it was about Discovering Your Destiny. The author talks about how he was in TV Production for most of his life. How he was just a natural at it. God had wired him that way. I knew what I had to do. Even if the job was part time and I still had to serve tables to pay my bills, I would have to take it because that is where my heart lies. That is where I would succeed and be happy.
A week before, I had taken an inventory of my life at church and became a little depressed when I saw all the bad that happened in my life. I felt like God was setting me up to fail, like every happiness was short-lived and that everyone that I loved were taken away from me. I cried out to God and said, “you say you want me to live an abundant and full life, well where is that?” “ I can’t believe it is serving tables and constantly struggling financially!”

Well God heard my cries! Not only did I get the job but they offered me a full-time job. I will be working on a new show with Kids Against Hunger on Mondays and Tuesdays. On Wednesday through Friday, I will be working on an existing show called “ The Good Life”. For the new show I will be the Producer and have a lot of creative say so ( which is awesome!) and I will also be reporting in segments from time to time ( The host liked my reporting resume tape! I knew I made that thing for a reason! ).

God created this job for me. It didn’t even exist to apply for. I get to produce, edit, be on camera, be creative and oh yeah there will be traveling! It’s the hours I wanted, The pay I needed! I couldn’t ask for more.

I wept for like 20 minutes. I was so happy. Just amazed at how God set this whole thing up! It wasn’t from my striving but just from his gracious ways! What an amazing God I have : -) Still in Awe of how BIG He really is.
