Waiting on God by Cherie Hill. I just ordered and started reading the Kindle version. Wow!! Chuckles and incredible insight.

I bought this because I am waiting on God in my career move. While going through the pain of an unwanted divorce and the final divorce judgement this year, I also have been enduring hardship and persecution at work from my superiors. It is looking like a set-up to be terminated. I thank the Lord I am working, and that He also gave me the trait to always want to improve. I decided to look for work in an old industry of mine. Since last month I have had seven interviews, a mixed bag of companies, phone talks, and one in-person scenario. I have been refused by all of them, even though I read job interviews books and redid my resume. Because I am an emotional person, I have been feeling down and disappointed. The way I cried to God, "Why my marriage?!", I now cry, "Get me out of here [my job]!"

I have been reading my highlighted sections on faith, strength, deliverance, protection, and Psalms in my topical bible. This morning, though, I woke up and admitted I was in a lousy mood. It reminded me of the times over the past year when I woke up in a lousy mood because of the divorce. I realized I am waiting on the Lord with this job change. Waiting, in general, is not a strong trait of mine. In the past, I was also never a fan of God's timing. So I decided to check Amazon books on the topic 'waiting on God.' I found gold! In just the first few pages, my lousy mood is gone. I KNOW the Great Author led me to this book.

NOTE: I do not know this author. I am not making a commission on this book recommendation. I do not work for Amazon. I just got the sense to want to share with you what I found and believe to be an incredible asset. I just skimmed her biography and saw other books which also seem to be helpful for us divorced Christian folks.

God bless.

BTW: I KNOW the Lord will lead me to the right job. I have no doubt of this!! I recall Joyce Meyer said something to effect that when we pray for something, He cannot always respond immediately because He is moving things around for the request, and that there is always people's free will which is involved. God saved me from eviction in 2012. Saving me from a lousy job is a walk in the park.

I just needed help with the waiting while The Master Chess Player does His thing . I got that help!
