God's Plan - His Ways are higher than ours

October, 2012
A couple of weeks ago,  E., our son told us  that he had a phone interview, but since we had not heard from him after that, we just assumed that it did not go well. Therefore, we were surprised to get an email from him informing us that the phone interview went really well and that the company would be flying him out to California for a personal interview.We were happy for him; dreams of the California sun and trips to the sunshine state started clouding my head. We love to go where our sons would go. So far, Eric has been the only one studying and now working away from home.

 E. came home on the weekend after his whirlwind trip out west.  He was there for  that Californian job interview .  Since we were in Waterloo, we could not pick him up. Fortunately, he changed his travel plan. Instead of flying to Toronto on Friday, he rested in New York, then boarded the Grey Hound on Friday midnight and got here around 3pm, Sunday afternoon. We picked him up from the Elizabeth st. Starbuck.

Naturally, we were anxious to hear all about his job interview. E. thought that he did OK and that the interview was very intense. It lasted for four and a half hours with 5 different people firing questions at him and then going to different people including the CFO of the company for further interviews after the bombardment of questions from the company lawyers.

I am writing this as a testimony later on to E. He did not think he did really well or aced the interview. But I strongly believe that when God is on your side, it;s up to Him, not on what we have done to achieve what we have in life. I dare not pray to God  that He would give our son specifically the job in California because I have faith that God will give us and in this case, E., the best. I just pray that E. will experience the grace and love God has for him in his job search experience. God, may your mercy and grace cover E. and that I humbly ask our sons will personally experience Your blessing and guiding hand in their work. In Christ name, Amen.

E. did not get the job in California, but we have faith in God. As I am reading about King David wanting to build a temple for God but He said no to his godly desire, God blessed David and had better plans for him and his descendants. I truly believe that God will prepare and has better plans for Eric.

p.p.s.
We talked to E. via Skye last Tuesday, he told us that he would have two in person interviews in June. One in Toronto, and another one in San Francisco, the one he really wanted with a game company. God is great! Since he did not hear back from the S.F. job which he was interviewed for in March, 2013, we all thought that he did not get the job. We were wrong!!! I kept praying and crying out to God, God hears and answers prayers! Hallelujah!!!!  We pray and know that God will give us the best. He will give our sons, the best!!! June 1, 2013
