Unexpected Interview

 


On July 26, 2017 I was starting to feel tired again and I decided that I should go to a walk-in clinic to see what’s causing me to be tired.  I looked online and found three near by.  I decided I would go to the one that had the highest reviews for a female doctor.  If you know anything about what doctors’ offices in Canada are like, it’s that you often wait for what seems like forever to be seen.  Knowing this, I decided to eat an early lunch, so I wouldn’t be starving at the doctor’s office.

I got to the doctor’s office and found out quickly that it wasn’t a walk-in clinic.  In some ways, I preferred that as it would be great to have a family doctor near by that I could go to regularly.  I talked to the receptionist and he told me that the doctors there weren’t taking any new patients as they are fully booked.

I felt a little discouraged at that point, but I asked if there were any female family doctors that were walking distance.  He checked and everything was about 30-40 minutes away.  I thanked him and thought since I was there, that I would ask him if he knew if they were hiring.

It turned out that they were.  He had the office manager come talk to me.  I told her up front that I didn’t have any medical background, but she said she’d tell me about the job and we would see after how it goes.  She told me that the job entailed taking a person’s blood pressure, weight, height, history, booking for another appointment, and many other things.

I told her about myself and the many years of customer service experience I have and how much I wanted to help people.  She told me at the end of the interview that she decided to interview me because I was so friendly.  I didn’t bring my resume as I wasn’t prepared to have an interview, but she gave me her card so I could email it to her.

I thanked her a bunch and thanked her for taking a chance on me.  I was so ecstatic after I left the office.  It was pretty cool that I went there to try to find a doctor and I ended up getting a job interview instead.  I’ve never had that happen before, and I realized right away that this could only be God guiding me to this location.  I had been so worried about trying to rely on myself to find a job, that I wasn’t letting God show me where I needed to go to get one.

I don’t know if I’ll get a job there, but I did feel that God was looking out for me.  I felt like He was saying I’m still here for you.  Even if I don’t get the job it was still a good experience, as it really boost my confidence for my next job interview.

Psalms 121:7-8      The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life.  The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.

 

Here’s a good song about wanting to close your eyes and pretend that everything is alright when it actually isn’t for everyone around you.  But you refuse to do that because you don’t want to live like you don’t care or do another empty prayer.  You don’t want to sit around and wait for someone else to do what God had meant for you to do, and you could choose not to move, but you refuse to do that.  That there may be people crying out, and we are the hand and feet of God to help them.  As you do what you are meant to do, then you show everyone who you really are by what you do.

  That you refuse to turn you back against the things that you see going on, as you want to do God’s work.

  On Thursday November 5, 2015 since the weather had been so incredibly warm this first week of November I wanted to try to run a bit more.   My husband and I had noticed that my running times have gotten slower – we think it might have something to do with the weather being cooler.   I decided I’d go for a run after my hubby got to his work.   I have found that over the past few weeks with weighing myself daily my weight had gone up a few pounds more then I’d like and it seemed I was battling with my Eating Disorder a lot more than I had been in awhile.   I have been in recovery from my ED since sometime in March 2015, yet I do occasionally fall back into it, or feel like I want to embrace it again, which I know deep down isn’t a good idea.   I had a few reasons why I wanted to go for the run; one, to figure out if the cold weather was causing me to be more tired during my runs, which would cause me to run slower.   The second reason was due to my...

Helping my 10 year old self (Counselling)

  On July 25, 2024 I decided to write about an important post about some things that came up during counselling. I was asking for healing from Yeshua (Jesus) & Elohim (God) with the Gut pain and any issues that may be the root cause of it. When I thought about that I felt that I said I feel scared all the time.   My counsellor asked what I felt when I was scared.   I said of Being Alone, Being Trapped with my emotions, being punished for being weak. Then he asked what are the emotions that are scary to be trapped with? I said Fear, Anxiety, Despair - Hopelessness. He asked me what I am afraid of and I said of dying alone, and I put that feeling 8 out of 10.   Then he asked where do you feel it in your body, I said my chest. Then he asked if there was any other fears, and I said Fear of living and not being able to handle it. -That’s when I had an overwhelmed feeling - connected to the 10 year old – of being scared of my dad and thinking life will nev...

Counting

  I decided to write this short post on Dec. 3, 2024, it’s been awhile since I wrote any newer posts as I haven’t been in the right mindset to do so.   My mental struggles have been really strong, and I often barley can get through the day. I just don’t feel like the same person I used to be, I know there is a caring part of me, but it just seems to be lost inside of me, so that even though I want to help people, that need is gone when I am so very focused on my own struggles constantly. But when I was just so lost, and trying anything to calm down, I got a reminder in my head of when my previous counsellor from years ago she mentioned to count to 10, and try not to think of anything else.   I tried it at first when I couldn’t sleep and surprisingly it helped me more than I expected.   For the most part I tend to sleep pretty easily, but there are times when my mind just keeps racing about my food obsessions, or how the day will be tomorrow, if I can get throug...
