Sometimes I feel there are moments in life where things just
happen and I can’t help but think to myself, “that could not have been timed
better”. I had one of those moments recently and how it came about led me to
think…maybe it wasn’t such a coincidence.
Enter my good friend Sarah. Currently she’s studying abroad
in Sweden so I won’t get to see her in-person until next year. Last Wednesday,
I had woken up to a really nice message from her. At the end of the message,
she mentioned how she had been praying for me during my time of transition and
trying to find a permanent job, etc. That was really nice and awesome by itself.
A few hours later, I received an email from a company that wanted to interview
me in person. The first thing I thought was how Sarah really was watching over me
and that her prayer had definitely been answered through that email. It was
definitely a sign of true friendship and how she had been taking the time to
support and think of me while being knee-deep in her abroad adventure.
To be fair, it is perfectly possible that Sarah’s message and my interview email
coming one after the other so shortly could simply be an extremely convenient coincidence. In my personal opinion,
I believe there was something greater at play. I call this the “power of prayer”.
Bringing it back, it really is quite the experience to see
how and when things come together and to think, "Maybe it’s not just a
coincidence". Regardless of whether the interview turns into a job offer or not,
this experience spoke to me and reminded me of that “power of prayer” that I
believe strongly in. And honestly, it could not have been timed any better.
