Health takes precedent over most everything. You are absolutely correct. Especially because I did pray about this. Suppose it is a case of just growing up and moving on. I am still learning how to do that!

Then I got a report that my mammogram looked suspicious, and I needed to go have a sonogram. Then I started having heart palpitations. I've had a heart murmur for years, so the doctor said I should have a sonogram for that, too. Both sonograms showed no problems after all, but in the meantime, I had to withdraw from consideration for the position. It was almost as if God was telling me to stay put, but I was pretty depressed about it for a time. I realize now that I wouldn't have enjoyed the "dream job" nearly as much as I enjoyed the job I continued to work in until I retired. ( I got the job I had through a strange sting of "coincidences." So maybe God was, indeed telling me I was where I was supposed to be. Maybe he's speaking to you the same way.)angelaparsonmyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444590717139156975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602148489781790903.post-25612957686860848602012-08-31T18:13:19.530-06:002012-08-31T18:13:19.530-06:00I was going to suggest that you had your prayers a...I was going to suggest that you had your prayers answered, you just didn't like the answer.

It'...Ahhh Denise, I can tell you are in Pain. It's actually gained wisdom that let you to be wise enough to know that this is not the dream job that you actually want. It's not, it couldn't be. I don't know how religious you are but I believe if a door is hard to get through..for any reason, then that's not the door I should be going through. And mark my words, 3 months from now, you will laugh out loud when you get the Job or opportunity that really IS meant to be. And if you would have taken the WRONG one then you could have never realized the second..KWIM?
