Answered Prayer

God answered my prayer today.  I believe He always does answer our prayers... we just don't always like or agree with His answers at the time.  But, in the end, it's always the right thing.
So, I'm not sure how much I've elaborated so ignore this if it's "old news".  I had the opportunity to apply for another job in addition to my youth job.  It would have been something I thought would fit right into what I'm doing and something I thought I would absolutely love.  It's taken awhile to get through the hiring process because the person doing the hiring was gone for a week.  So, it has felt like it's been dragging out longer than it should.  But, last Friday, I was told they were pretty sure they were going to offer me the position after a few more things were taken care of.  I was excited at the possibilities.  But, it's also a big step- a big change schedule wise in my life.  So, I prayed for God to help me with my decision.  I asked Him to give me guidance and to help me by making my decision an easy one somehow.  Basically, my prayer was for Him to find a way to let me know if this was truly His plan for me. 
I was supposed to know by today.  And, finally this afternoon, I had a chance to talk to the hiring person.  We set up a meeting for this evening.  And, at our meeting, I received God's answer to my prayer.  Yesterday, I had calculated exactly how much I could take a pay cut and still have a roof over my head and food on the table.  It was more than the minimum wage they offered.  So, my decision was pretty easy.  And, I thank God that I was not put through an inner struggle in my head about what the right thing to do was.  I'll still support the program since I believe it's a good thing for my city and my youth.  But, I will not be running it.
Thanks God for answering my prayer.
