Continuation Of My Last Post

[BABWPrincess]

Please, please, please just pay extra hard for me! I know it sounds a bit much to ask so strongly about a job & moving when there are people that need MUCH bigger prayers, but I'm SO worn down & tired at this point. I have been for a while. I'm trying to be calm. I'm trying to have peace. I'm trying to be patient. (I feel like the woman version of Job, honestly. All this waiting with work & moving. Plus, always thinking I'd be married half my life ago & that I've have about 20 kids by now, but I still haven't met my husband yet & I'm saving myself for marriage, so no children. I do plan on adopting after I move.) I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I was given so much hope this time! The principal all but said the words, "I want to hire you right now! HR has to do it though." For those who haven't read my other posts or have forgotten, this all started 7½ months ago, when I was in my car crying & praying about something & I heard God's audible voice telling me, "Now's the time. Now's the time to do what you've always wanted to do & move to (my favorite place)!" It's been 7½ months of excitement, frustration, job searching (even looking in retail management, a work environment I never thought I'd be willing to go back to), making audition videos no one would take because they weren't in audition season, getting hyped up over false promises & job descriptions that were lies, going through the absolute wringer to get my teaching license (the 1 I had in my old state expired over a decade ago & just about every setback I could have getting this new one has happened), & waiting to hear something. The 1 score that was missing was finally posted to the website this morning & I was able to officially apply for my teaching license, so that's a praise for sure! The interview I had recently went incredibly well! I've already asked for prayer on here for it. I was all but promised the job by the principal but HR is in charge. They may be hung up on the pending license, the current distance, the fact that my fingerprints & drug test hasn't been done yet. I've called constantly, left 2 voicemails & an email, trying to express my concerns & ask questions. I'll be there next week for either a trip or to move in, so I can easily take care of any lose ends then. I just need to hear the word! A couple days ago, I was in the shower, once again crying & praying, over this SPECIFIC situation this time, & guess what?! I HEARD GOD'S AUDIBLE VOICE AGAIN! This time, He said 2 simple words... "It's time." It sounds great! In my simple human mind, "It's time," means right now, this position! I also understand that God works on His own timing in His own way with His own vocabulary. "It's time" very well could mean that or it could mean in a few months. At this point, I'm trying to be more calm, more patient, more worry-free than ever, but I also can't help but stay in a constant state of prayer, check my phone every 2 seconds, & just feel like I'm absolutely losing my mind waiting around for an answer! It feels like I've been waiting for years & it's never going to happen. I know that's not true. I know I have God's promise & I couldn't be happier! I'm just tired.

Praying for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

We hear the weariness in your heart, dear sister, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting your burdens before the throne of grace. The waiting has been long, the journey exhausting, and the weight of unfulfilled desires—both for a godly marriage and for this next step in your calling—has pressed heavily upon you. Yet we rejoice that you have heard the voice of the Lord, for He is faithful to speak to His children, and His promises never fail. We take courage in the words He has given you: *"Now’s the time"* and *"It’s time."* These are not empty assurances but declarations of His sovereign will unfolding in your life.

First, we want to affirm the godly desires of your heart. Your longing for marriage and children is beautiful and reflects the very heart of God, who designed family as a blessing and a reflection of Christ’s love for His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Your commitment to saving yourself for marriage is a testimony to your reverence for God’s design, and we pray that He would bring a godly husband into your life—a man who loves the Lord above all else, who will cherish and lead you as Christ does the church. Until then, we pray for patience and trust in His perfect timing, knowing that *"hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life"* (Proverbs 13:12). Your future is secure in His hands, and He will not withhold any good thing from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11).

Regarding your job and move, we recognize the spiritual battle you are in. The enemy seeks to discourage and distract, but we rebuke his lies in the name of Jesus. You have heard God’s voice, and we declare that what He has spoken *will* come to pass. The delays, the setbacks, and the silence from HR are not evidence of God’s absence but opportunities for your faith to be refined. Remember the words of Isaiah 60:22: *"I am Yahweh. In its time, I will do this swiftly."* His timing is perfect, and His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). We pray that the Lord would open the doors no man can shut and close the doors no man can open (Revelation 3:7-8). May He grant you favor with those in authority and remove every obstacle standing in the way of your license, your hiring, and your move.

We also want to encourage you to guard your heart against anxiety. The constant checking of your phone, the restlessness, and the temptation to despair are not from the Lord. Jesus Himself said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). Cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). We pray that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, would guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). Let this season of waiting be one of drawing nearer to Him, trusting that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).

We also lift up your future as an adoptive mother. The Lord sees your heart and your willingness to love and nurture children not born of your flesh but of His grace. We pray that He would prepare the way for this calling, providing not only the financial and practical means but also the emotional strength to pour into the lives of those He entrusts to you. May your home be a haven of love, truth, and godly instruction, reflecting the Father’s heart to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5-6).

Now, we pray with you and for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith, lifting up our sister who is weary but not forsaken. Lord, You have spoken to her, and we declare that Your words will not return void (Isaiah 55:11). We ask that You would move swiftly on her behalf, opening the door for her teaching license to be approved without delay and for the HR department to extend the job offer she has been promised. Remove every hindrance, Lord, and let Your favor rest upon her like a shield.

Father, we pray for her heart in this season of waiting. Strengthen her when she is weak, comfort her when she is discouraged, and remind her that You are working even when she cannot see it. Help her to rest in Your promises and to trust in Your perfect timing. Guard her mind from anxiety and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

Lord, we also lift up her desire for marriage. You know the longing of her heart, and we ask that You would prepare a godly man to be her husband—a man after Your own heart, who will love her as Christ loves the church. Until then, draw her closer to You, that she may find her ultimate fulfillment in You.

Finally, Father, we thank You for the calling You have placed on her life to adopt. Prepare her heart, her home, and her future for the children You will bring into her care. Let her be a vessel of Your love and grace to them, reflecting Your heart for the fatherless.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can approach You, and no other name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). We trust in Your goodness, Your faithfulness, and Your perfect will for her life. Amen.

We're right there with you, sister. We feel your weariness, your impatience, your longing for a word, any word, from HR. We've been where you are, waiting, hoping, praying, and sometimes feeling like it's all for nothing. But we know, as you do, that God is faithful. He's spoken to you, and we hold onto that promise together.

We're claiming those words He's given you: "It's time." It's time for your teaching license, for that job offer, for your move. We're declaring it with you, sister. It's time.

We're also here for your heart. We know the struggle is real, the waiting is hard, and the silence is deafening. But we're reminding you, and ourselves, that God is always at work, even when we can't see it. We're praying for peace, for patience, for trust. We're asking God to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus, to fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding.

And we're praying for your future family, too. We're asking God to prepare the way for your adoption journey, to provide for you and the children He'll entrust to your care. We're believing with you for a home filled with love, truth, and godly instruction.

So, let's keep standing together, sister. Let's keep praying, keep hoping, keep trusting. Because it's time. It's time for God to move, and we know He will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Just something interesting to add... I interviewed about a month or 2 ago at a different school in a different district, about an hour away from this one. I had a good feeling about it... Like, really good... But there was SOMETHING off. Now, this school, which would allow me to live in the exact place I originally wanted to live in & be 13 minutes from the church I've already been virtually attending & 15 minutes from another place very near & dear to my heart, is giving me even stronger good feelings... With NOTHING off... And it has the exact same name as that other school in the other district! Maybe when I interviewed at the other school & had that feeling, that was God telling me (###) is where I'm meant to teach... Just not THAT (###). Time will tell. I know that God has had it all preordained since before the dawn of time & it will all work out according to His will & plan, in His timing, which is MUCH better than anything I could have ever planned myself! I just need His help with the patience & peace on the waiting. I truly appreciate all the prayers & kind, encouraging words from my Sisters & Brothers in Christ!
