Hey Elizabeth,
Everyone is taken care of in every situation. God is in control of your life and those running that organization.
A few years ago, I was looking for a new job too. I had just gotten out of the Peace Corps, which had been an incredibly empowering experience. I got back to the US, really enthusiastic and excited about what I was going to do next. But looking for jobs was a slog. I found a youth program around Boston that looked perfect. Over a hundred people applied for the position. I was one of 20 that were chosen to interview by phone. And I made the top 5 to come to an in-person interview. I was so excited about it after I left the interview. But then I didn’t get it. And I was devastated. I continued searching for jobs. But I really had to pray to pull myself mentally out of a feeling of hopelessly. I had to really learn to put my trust and God and listen for His guidance, instead of simply following my own.
A couple of months later, the perfect job found me and it was WAY better than what I had been looking for. A new Peace Corps program had started up in West Africa and they needed a technical trainer to design the training program for the new Peace Corps volunteers. I didn’t even know about those types of positions, and later found out that they are extremely competitive. Normally I would have been under-qualified. But the program was based off of the program I had been a volunteer for and the program director had recommended me as a potential trainer. I was contacted by Peace Corps about it and immediately accepted it! I was going back to Africa! And I was given complete freedom to design the training program the way I wanted, which challenged me in new ways. I learned a ton and absolutely loved it!
That experience always taught me that no matter what happens, always continue trusting that God is in control. There’s always a plan for each one of us! And usually its WAY better than we could ever imagine!
