Thanks :) They will both contact me in a few days.

Yeah, the second one sounds the most "right", but it also means I have to go overseas for training, and potentially to work too (though the original position I applied for is in Norway). Only problem with work overseas is that the salaries don't match the money I already spent getting the education :p Oh well, God finds a way no matter what happens :D

Didn't get those, but I have a phone interview + a technical test I have no idea what is, tomorrow (night/ early morning your time).

If I get this job it will involve a lot of changes :)

*ellie chews her nails as she tries not to be too disappionted, since she hoped "overseas" meant her friend was coming to her house.*

I don't know how you're doing this. I am becoming impatient and frustrated! lol
Lord, bring our dear one the position and home You have planned for her. And, please, may it be soon! (as we see soon, Abba, please.)

Meanwhile, I trust the Lord to reward your patience. :D

Interview rescheduled , it will be in about three hours.

The salary is about 2/3 of what one would expect in Norway, but as I will be living there, I think I can manage on it, even though I have the debt from my studies to get rid of.

The company offers to help find dorms as living can be expensive, I am quite tired of sharing a place to live, but if I do get the job I will get expereince. There s a 18 month "trial" period, so if I get through the interview, and don't mess up, I will be staying there for some time.

If God intends me to have this job please ask him to take care of all of that stuff. It would be easier working in Norway, but these guys seem more interested in giving me a job than the Norwegian companies do.

Thank you for your prayers, I think the interview went well.

If I get through to round two, I need to get myself a passport, then they cover the plane ticket and help me find an apartment and open a bank account if I get the job

Oh how exciting!!!! Congrads on finishing up with school. What did you get a bachelor degree in? I prayed for you. These things sorta just usually just fall together for us. Its funny how wound up we tend to get when our anxious human thoughts try to tell us we are all alone and that we have to do this ourselves. I have been there so many times. God has really used moments like that to strengthen my faith in Him. I know he will you also. Heck he even sent the thought to me that "He's got this". Whats beautiful about those words is that I have heard other children of God say he has sent those words into their minds also. For me I was living and breathing stress but it was all for nada. God took care of us. We didn't lose our apartment and we both got jobs. So I know you will be just fine. How exciting for you. Where are they wanting you to move to if you get the job?

He does, I just wish He would be clearer on where He wants me :p

My degree is in Information systems and IT management. The job is a ordinary call center representative though (Hey, at least it is something for the CV).
If I get the job I am moving to Scotland :) Ironically it is closer in air distance than the last job I applied for in Norway, but still a very different environment.

Oh that sounds like an amazing life you got happening there you lucky girl. Scotland sounds romantic and dreamy. And the accents the men have are way yummy lol. I hope you have amazing adventures!!! And yeah I hear ya on our God being clearer. But I think that is where he wants us to simply sit back and watch and wait to see what he is going to do in our lives next. He wants us to live in complete submitted dependence on him to get through each moment we walk in this lifetime I think. That is what I am doing and it feels 100% completely right to my soul it does. I know you are in the best hands with a submitted heart that loves our God. Your future is bright and shiny because of that. I am so happy for you. What is your real name?

lol, yes their accents are amazing :D

My name is Astrid :)

Yeah, I think my problem is trusting God, mainly because I've had a lot of problems getting jobs in the past, I can of picture myself never getting one.

Be careful Astrid because God tells us in the Bible that we are what we think. Put your energy(thought process) into a positive flow. Even if you don't quiet believe it when you start telling yourself that you are going to get the job of your dreams because you trust God to put you where he wants you, start saying it to yourself and the belief soon follows what you say. Start whispering up to Him "I trust you Jesus" and from saying and thinking those words something amazing happens inside of you. He gifts you with that very trust that you are whispering up to him for your faith. That has been my personal experience. Words are way more powerful then people realize as are thoughts. I will pray that God strengthens your trust in Him because there is NOTHING quiet as beautiful as being gifted with untouchable faith and trust in our Lord. If you keep reaching up for Him no matter how many disappointments you face he will bless your faith in ways that just have you grinning from ear to ear because its beautiful and special and unique and just for you from the hand of our God. You feel this blessing deep inside of your soul.
Nice to meet you Astrid, I go by Rebecca
