More Than I Could Ask For

Two weeks ago I interviewed with Clark's of England, a shoe store in Southlake, for a part-time position.  After a face-to-face interview with the store manager, along with a phone interview with the district manager, I was offered employment contingent upon passing the background check.  In asking for my authorization to run the necessary paperwork, the district manager asked if there was anything he needed to know about.  I promptly responded in the negative.  If the company was incurring the expense of a background check, let the results speak for themselves.  In waiting for the paperwork to process, I sought Almighty God in prayer asking for His favor and mercy in allowing everything to come back clean and clear.  A week later, I was given the green light to begin work.  What a miracle!  So far, I have worked two shifts and am already learning quite a bit.  I am considered a "Team Lead" with management responsibilities.  In fact, both the store and district managers want to place me on a "fast-track" to have my own store as soon as possible.  As I contemplate what to do with the rest of my life, this company came along at exactly the right time.  If I can keep my mouth shut and remain obedient to the Lord Jesus, Clark's will provide a stable career to carry me forward indefinitely.  Any job or circumstance can give glory to God's Kingdom; however, I desired employment more closely matching my innate skills, abilities, and talents.  I've had my share of dead-end jobs, and I am more than grateful for this blessing from God.  We shall see what the future holds.  Many blessings!
