O
I had applied for a job but I thought the door had closed (it's been 6 months of silence). All of a sudden, I get a call on Dec. 31 asking me if I'm interested. I also applied to a hospital for volunteer work. I literally begged for that position. I left messages, called multiple times, and even sent an email. The manager for volunteer services did not return my calls, my messages or my email. I also thought the door had closed. Then a few days ago, she replies to my email. It's been close to 2 or 3 months since I sent that email.
I'm now helping out in ministry. I'm also knee-high in my business ventures (net loss but it's only been 3 months). I don't really want the job (and therefore I don't want to go to the interview) and I'm not entirely sure about the volunteer position either. Honestly, I want to continue the ministry, work on my business to get a stable income, and possibly help out at the hospital (but not full time - before I wanted to go into nursing, that's why I needed the volunteer work and I wanted to do it full time).
Here's the problem: I'm not sure what God wants me to do. I had thought all the doors had closed. It was absolutely clear to me that the ministry work was what God wanted me to do because it was the only door that opened and I had not asked for it - in fact, I didn't want it originally. Now I'm no longer clear on what the next step is. I no longer want the things that I had wanted before but here they are... opportunities that I thought were lost.
I am currently leaning towards rejecting the interview and accepting the volunteer position should I get an offer but again, I don't know what to *really* do. I could really use some prayers for guidance. I need one of those big neon billboard signs telling me what to do. I'm pretty blind and clueless to hinting. No chocolates and flowers unless you ask directly!
