Unanswered Prayers

I'm no longer unemployed!  I got an amazing job offer from a great company that I'm going to take.  I will be starting work in about a month and I'll be on my way :-)  It's got me thinking though.  How many job's did I interview for that I really wanted and didn't get?  It all worked out in the end.  My unanswered prayers ended up being a great thing.

Things had to not work out in order for them to finally work out in the end.  I had to go through lots of rejection in order to find a job that was everything that I wanted.  Not only is this job a great position, but it's for a fantastic company where I can grow as a person and as an employee.  It's the perfect commute for me away from traffic and is in a great location where I can eventually move and afford to live.  It's also a good enough job offer that I'll be able to actually pay off my loans within a reasonable time, rather than having them take thirty years.  So all in all it really worked out for me.

I had to go through all that rejection, all the people telling me no, and finally something wonderful happened.  I guess it's true that you need bad things to happen to make the good things seem that much better. :-)
