So the past little while i have been searching for a new job. I had the feeling that it was time for me to find a new job and use the knowledge i was gaining at school and apply it in a new situation. So i got started looking for a new job. I applied to many jobs and was called in for an interview for one of them. I was excited for the new opportunity. As the interview got closer I felt nervous and felt that i needed more guidance than just my own. I had my husband and my father give me a blessing and i headed off to the interview. The interview went great. The job seemed perfect. It was exactly what i thought i was looking for and was a great opportunity. The first interview went so well they called me in for a second interview. In between interview one and two i became more unsettled. I didn't have that "go get em" feeling I was expecting to have. I started to really question what i was suppose to do . During this time, i turned to my husband and asked him about what i was feeling and what i should do. I am truly blessed to be married to such an amazing man who instantly turned me to the scriptures and to conference talks. He specifically talked to me about one called the wrong road. I have included the link to the video because it is truly powerful and something i believe we all go through. After much searching and praying and asking those around me questions i decided to go forward with the second interview. I hadn't felt the need to stop but i still wasn't convinced that it was for me. After the second interview i felt the same feelings. I realized that i needed to make a decision and confirm my decision with God.I had a confirmation that i was where i needed to be and heading in the right direction while at home waiting for my sister to open her mission call. it gave me such comfort to know that i did know when God was guiding me and that i knew his voice and knew when i was doing the right thing. I went to church a couple days later fasting for the knowledge to make the correct decision. I was sitting in a young women's lesson ( i was visiting my home ward) and they were talking about how God speaks to us individually and we will know how to recognize his promptings. In that moment i knew the that i knew how god spoke to me and that i knew what decision to make. In that moment i said a silent prayer to my Heavenly Father with my decision. When that prayer was over i was filled with such peace and i knew that i had made the right choice.
I am so very grateful for this opportunity i had to learn and to remember that i know the promptings given to me and i can have confidence in my abilities to make correct choices. God loves us all and will never lead us into harmful situations. But there are times when he wants us to make a decision on our own and come to him for confirmation. There will also be other times where we will get a prompting to go the wrong way just so we can be so sure in the right way. please take the time to watch this video.
The wrong road.
