Why God is “dog” spelled backwards

God works in wonderful ways

The job interview went wonderfully well. Two interviewers were prepped and primed and passed the questioning back and forth with graceful energy. I felt at home answering their queries about training and education and transitioning from corporate employment to self-employment and back.

We laughed a lot. We traded stories. We seemed like working together (read, my working for them) wouldn’t be a problem.

And they told me I would be training in six-week stints. And 60% of those stints would be out of town. And there is even the possibility of back-to-back stints.

I’ve been a road warrior. I can be a road warrior. That’s what I thought and that’s what I told them.

Then I drove home. And I got to thinking about Alex. I couldn’t fathom boarding him all that time. And all the people I know who would say, “You can leave Alex with me” would be offering a favor that could easily become a burden.

Next morning I sat and prayed. No, I hadn’t been offered the job but I’ve always been for advanced planning.

God, I love Alex. I want a job. I leave this up to you, God. Thank you. And so it is.

As I said my prayer for the second or third time, I felt a damp nose gently pressing my cheek.

Amen.

15 minutes after I sent the please-remove-me-from-consideration e-mail, I got a call from another company that had received my resume. We scheduled an interview for later this week.

Amen. Amen.
