I am not one for believing the non-sense fortunes I typically see in those fortune cookies I get at chinese restaurants. You know, the ones that every one says you should add "in bed" to the end every time. Sometimes they turn about to be really funny and typically they don't relate to anything in real life but I have to admit... the last few I have gotten have been spot on and it's a little creepy!
The first one I posted about back in July when Kevin and I moved in with his parents.
Like I said in my earlier post... it was actually perfect timing because I was starting to really worry about whether we were doing the right thing.
*As of last month we are officially building our first house!!*
The next fortune cookie came the night I decided to call my wonderful friend's mother about applying for a job at the company she worked for. I had been debating for weeks if I should do it or not. I knew I was miserable at my current job and I was just nervous it wasn't going to be what I wanted or that I wouldn't even be considered.
It was almost like it was the exact statement I needed to hear. As soon as we got home I picked up the phone and then sent in an application! My friend Katie's mom was more than willing to help!
The next one is kind of blurry. Somehow I managed to eat chinese a second time at the end of that same week... I have no idea how that happened!! (It's kinda a problem I have. haha) I had not heard anything back about the application and was starting to think I might not. I was really having a hard time at my job and I was starting to wonder how much longer I could deal with it all and still be happy. I opened up the fortune cookie and this is what I read.
SEE!! CREEPY RIGHT?!
I tried to be patient and a week later I got a call. I did two interviews over the phone, took a couple of tests, and then had an interview in person... I wasn't out of the building before they offered me the job! I cannot even begin to tell you how thankful I am for Katie's mom. I know I would not have been considered for an interview let alone for the actual job itself had it not been for her!
The last one came on my last day at my old job. I worked in retail and it had been a CRAZY busy Saturday. Not only was I exhausted and had to close the store on my last shift but the other manager that had opened had done NOTHING that day so I knew I wasn't going to get out anytime before midnight! I managed to take a 15 min break and picked up this fortune cookie....
I laughed it off but in the back of my mind I kept thinking that I really hoped I would be part of a real team that actually does work cooperatively for success unlike the team I was currently on.
I can officially say that this one was exactly right too! At my new job we are seriously divided up in actual teams and I have never been a part of a team that has worked so well together. See CREEPY! I don't think I'll be shrugging off my fortune cookies again for a while! haha
On a serious note, I do think this was a little bit of comfort sent down in God's perfect timing and in just another random and unexpected way!
