God is faithful, and funny

So I found out some big news on Monday: I've been offered a position at Epic Systems in Madison, WI. I will be a staff accountant for them, most likely working in their GL department (which focuses on the general accounting functions such as reporting, working with their fixed assets, exploring how their international expansion affects their company, etc).

Let me give you the background of this and just how God works in crazy ways. So as most of you probably know, I felt called to leave staff with Crusade a couple of months ago. Obviously, that was a hard decision but I just felt confident that the Lord had something else in store. So...I left with the ambition to have an impact in the accounting field. Speaking with several staff during the leaving process, they had some concerns since this obviously isn't exactly easy to do. But, I did feel like this is where God had me.

I began the job search, and I really had no "luck". I applied for many, many, many jobs and never heard back from any of them. A bit into the process, I had a company (Epic) find my resume and send me and e-mail saying that I should apply. I never had any intentions to leave the state, so I applied just for the fact to just not shut any doors. At this point, I really had no interest in the position, but I did note to myself that they found me and God could be using this opportunity.

It was a 2 month process to finally get the job offer. Through that time, I ended up getting more and more excited about this opportunity. There are 3,200 employees, and they are just currently building even more to their huge campus (It looks like a University if you didn't know any better). To make things even better: They hire many recent college grads. How cool is God to be able to provide an environment that seems like a college atmosphere but yet still be able to have an impact in the accounting field. Plus, the offer was very nice...so I can become a sender of various missionaries as I can help support them financially.

So God is faithful to provide through crazy things when you follow where he has you. Sometimes, he does it in funny ways that you don't expect.
