Finding a Job

HIS MYSTERIOUS WAYS
 Not owning a car, I had to find jobs that I could walk to, and considering that the town I lived in was not very large, it always surprised me that I did manage to find work within walking distance of my home. When the newspaper I worked at for l0 years was moving to a location I could no longer get to on foot, I found another place to work a few blocks away. After six years there, it turned out they also would be moving, to a new location out of town. By then, I had no idea where I would find another job within walking distance. So I asked God to please help me. One morning as I was passing the small brick building where the Dept. of Transportation was located, I suddenly stopped in my tracks and wondered if they had any openings. I had passed that building for l6 years on my way to work and thought it was just a state garage or something, a place where only men seemed to work. But that particular morning I decided to stop in and see if I could possibly get a job there. Once I was inside the building, I was surprised to see a few women at regular office desks and asked the one nearest the door if any jobs were available. She directed me to the small cubbyhole of an office where the Personnel Manager worked and when I asked about the possibility of getting a job there, she said, "Oh, you heard about the opening?" They were looking for someone to fill a clerical position that had been vacant for over four months. I was hired!  I guess God was saving it for me.-And it turned out to be the best job I ever had.
