Timing is Everything
Although I did not get to carry the
Oklahoma flag again in the ACU Parade of Flags like I had originally planned, I
ended up getting a paid internship with University Events instead.
Recently I have been reminded in a couple
situations how timing is everything. Last year at school I would check ACU’s
on-campus job listings about once a month. Not hardcore looking for a job, but
trying to apply for any that had openings. I figured what would work out would.
Looking back, having a job last year would have been too overwhelming. This semester
with social club rushing and pledging, I took a lighter load of classes. After talking
to someone who had an internship on campus I thought that there must be more
opportunities for an internship. By chance, I emailed University Events asking
if they had any opportunity or could help direct me to a similar internship or
job. I chose to email University Events because I thought something similar
would cater to my strengths and be something I could look into and gain
experience for a potential career. Like it was destined to happen, as of the day
I emailed them they had an opening. I had an interview within the next few
days. I could not have asked for a better interview and was put on a trial
basis. Over the weekend I helped plan and organize one of ACU’s longest
traditions, Opening Ceremonies. I have loved Opening Ceremonies since last year
when I carried the Oklahoma flag in the Parade of Flags. Being a part of the
process of setting up and taking down everything needed for the event was a lot
of work, but it was worth it because of the tradition and principle of the
ceremony. Today, a week after I sent my original email, I was officially
offered the internship.
It is crazy how God worked in this
situation the past week. There is no other explanation I even imagine that
could explain how this opportunity presented itself. Although waiting on God’s
timing can be frustrating or tedious, it is worth it. Before moving back to
school I could never have imagined getting a job on campus, especially one
interesting and relevant to a potential career. I am thankful for this
opportunity and excited to work hard this semester and see where I am led in
all activities I am involved in. So here’s to a new semester and new
opportunities and more waiting on God’s timing.
