Favor??

I happen to be in a journey group with three amazing women. One day, we were talking about asking for favor in God. Up until this point, I always remembered the passage about asking for things and believing that God will give you His perfect will, but I never really applied it.

There is this book that talks about asking for favor in everything. From big, like job interviews, to small, like getting a parking spot or making the light. So I tried it. For everything I prayed, God keep me safe, find favor on me today at work. God please let me get a close parking space at the store because I hate walking. And when it happened, I praised God, not fate. It's amazing when happens when we give God all the praise he deserves. He becomes so real and so giving. It really helps you understand His love for us.

Here's the thing.... my wonderful hubby has a job interview this Tuesday at 11am. I know that he would make a great firefighter. This is his second time applying for the team , so I know it's something he really wants; he wouldn't risk his pride again. So I have been praying every day that I pass the training center, God give favor to Mike. Give him this job so he can see how much you love him. And I've told Mike, pray hard and don't doubt. But I still feel unsettled. I want to believe that God is going to give him this job, but sometimes the things we want aren't part of His plan, so then what?
I have less then 48 hours, so I think I am going to obey and believe. My husband is the next Raleigh Fire Dept Extraordinaire!! Hopefully, he will stick with just rescuing cats out of trees :)
