Reviving this blog!!! :D :D
If you didn't know - I'm a research assistant at CollegePlus! and have been for almost 2 months (wow, it feels like it's been forever and yes, I'm the one who's probably editing your template, hehe).
I have heard several times that people applied for that position and it wows me to think God allowed me to be selected for that position. I know Erica (my boss) prayed over the situation and she says she doesn't hire someone until she gets the "go-ahead" from God to do so. (We've been praying for a degree consultant and God just answered with the perfect person at the perfect time, when another degree consultant was transitioning to a different department - hallelujah!)
It's also funny (and embarrassing) how I asked God to give me the job, but didn't really expect Him to answer positively. In fact, I was planning on it not working... yes, I know shameful.
I wonder how many times I've done that and God might have said, "Alright then. Since you don't believe I'm going to give it to you, I might as well not. It's not all that glorious if you get something that you didn't have faith for." Maybe that's not the best way to guess at what God is thinking, but it definitely reminds me to BELIEVE I have received and not worry or keep asking like He won't answer me ALWAYS.
Soli Deo Gloria,

Mark 11:24 (HCSB)
Therefore, I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for -- believe that you have received them, and you will have them.
