God is so good!! Just when I wanted to give up hope of ever hearing anything about Rome I received an email from the Director of the program. I was immeadiately convinced that I didn't get an interview since I received the email. You don't want the email...it's never good. You want the phone call asking you for the interview. I began to read and as I did my heart fell. The first paragraph thanked me for applying and my patience. The second paragraph began with this has been a difficult decision...and then the words I've been dying to hear (or in this case read): "The committee was impressed with your experience and application materials and would liketo interview you by phone on July 31 sometime between the hours of 10a.m. and 5 p.m." YAY!!!!!! I screamed at the top of my lungs and began to jump up and down. I got an interview! Out of 33 applicants I was selected (with 6 other people) for an interview! Praise God!
I was really scared that I wouldn't get an interview and that would lead me to what I feared the most...that I would lose hope and trust in God. I say this not from an intellectual place because I know with my head that He never leaves me, never forsakes me, and that His plans for my life are far better than anything I could ever imagine. Rather, I say this from my heart. So often I have seen or experienced a taste of what I think is best for me only to have it be taken away or not fulfilled and I am sad to say that with every time that happens I close myself off a little more. I've learned so much in the last two years about living life in the open, trusting God with my heart and who He has made me to be that I don't want to go back to not allowing God and people to see my heart. So, thank you Jesus for this opportunity. Let me glorfiy You and abide in whatever it is that is Your best for me...
