“Yes” to the wrong question

“He may not come when you want Him...but He's right on time” is what some black gospel choirs sing about. A contradiction but can be a sign of faith. Mrs. Moore an old lady in A Passage to India said: “Life rarely gives us what we want the moment we consider appropriate. Adventures do occur but not punctually.”

My nibble did turn into a bite but not before a 2 day wait which made me tense like a stretched rubber band. The job did not fit as well as the recruiter believed. 

Desperation while waiting for answered prayers, the desires of our hearts or the solution to the problem can stress us so much we miss the answer. That's why there is the slogan “Life is what happens while we’re making other plans”.

The 2 day wait for what may turn out to be nothing, actually prepared me for the real career change just around the corner or down the road. It’s better to be relaxed than planning on the “Yes” to the wrong question.

BTW, I just got another nibble.
