Apparently There is Another Plan for Me

Well, in the mail today I got a "thanks but, no thanks" letter.  That's what I used to call them when I would send them out after interviews to the candidates who weren't selected.

I did not get the job at SFUSD, and not too sure why, but apparently God has another plan for me.  I sort of disappointed but I will keep on moving forward.  It was a little strange as they approached me, took me to lunch, invited me to see the offices and then chose someone else, weird eh?  My guess, an internal candidate, who they felt compelled to give the job to.

Oh well, so it goes.  Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers and hope you'll keep them up for what's yet to come.

Hugs and thanks,
Barb

Barb,

You are right God has an awesome plan for you.  You may not know what it is for a while or understand why but it is there!  You are an amazing woman that knows her stuff, the right job is there for you, it just has not been completly prepared for you yet, but it is there.  You will stay in my thought and always in my prayers my friend.  I am sending you a giant hug

(((((((HUG)))))))

Did you get it?  I thought so.  Sleep tight and know there are angels watching over you.

I am so sorry to hear of your disappointing news, Barb. I can't add any more to what Rhonda just wrote. Except to tell you that I am thinking of you and I will continue to keep you in my prayers.  His will be done, not ours. Maybe if you had gotten that position, it wouldn't have lasted, with budget cuts and all. Your dream job will come when you least expect it. I will give you a huge hug. and I hope others join me in a gigantic group hug for you.

 .

Love to you, my friend.

Michelle,

Thank you so much.  You both made me cry and I so appreciate the hugs and the love.  It's the 1st time in 34 years I don't have a job to go to.  Needless to say I am nervous but thank God for the man I married, that he keeps me reeled in and we don't spend money foolishly.

Hugs and thanks,
Barb

Barb,

It is very weird and makes one wonder what all that "courting" was about, but there is no doubt in my mind that it is their loss, and you are destined for something else.  I will unhook my fingers and toes and uncross my eyes, but will continue to send good thoughts and vibes your way. 

Hang in there my friend!

Thanks for the good thoughts and your kindness, it made me feel so much better.

Hope you're feeling better too and healing up.  You're sure looking like a million bucks!

Hugs,
Barb
