Rejection Letter
This Blog has moved! Click here to see what's new in the life of the Pruett family.
The letter I received in the mail today was cordial but firm. My application for a position as an instructor at our local community college is no longer under consideration. I applied early this summer before I had heard anything from Lockheed Martin, my present employer. I had high hopes that a teaching position at the college level might be exactly what I wanted, but I can see now that God has me right where he wants me.
In many ways the letter was actually good news. It was good to see a door close and an option be eliminated, at least for now. It was good to know that I won’t have to interview, or keep pursuing another position. It was good to know that I can focus completely on my current position and not be pulled in another direction. I know it was good news for my wife as well. I’m sure she would have had a much harder time had they decided to interview me. For now it is great to know that I have a good, stable job that is providing wonderfully for our family. I don’t know if I’ve ever been happier to receive a rejection letter!
