Things I have learned Day #16

#16 If you ask God to close doors it will happen if you keep your eyes open


So last week Catie and I were praying that God would "close doors (for jobs and our future) that needed to closed and on Tuesday God seemed to do just that. I was prepared to go for an interview in Lansing (for a field rep job that is in the GRish area). I got all dressed up Catie and I got a babysitter to watch the kids and we headed out on the road. Well, all of a sudden (in about the Zeeland area) our van started shaking and the check engine light came on and started to flash. So, I had to call the guy who was interviewing me and cancel (he was actually really understanding about the whole situation). But, I knew that because I didn't go there was a good chance I probably wouldn't get the job. So it was kind of crappy, but I had to trust that when you pray "God shut door that need to be shut even if they are financially advancing" that God will at some point answer that pray... it just happened to be quickly.

So I am still learning that apparently God does answer prayers... even if it is in a seemingly inconvenient way.
