Hi,I've recently been looking for jobs when I finally found two jobs that seemed complementary to my skills. I applied to both...I prayed and prayed about getting a job, and that if I got multiple offers, that God would make it blatently obvious as to which offer I should take. So what happened was I didn't hear back from the place I thought I'd get the job, and heard back from the other place where I didn't expect to hear back from a day later than the callback date both places gave out. I was given until the end of the week to make a decision on the job offer, so I waited for the other place hoping they'd at least follow-up if they were not to hire me and even sent a reminder to get an update on the job status of sort--in other words, I put my one and only job offer on hold for this other position so I could see what was going on before making rash decisions. Turns out, a few hours after I had called back the job offer place with my decision to accept, the other place finally contacts me and says they want to offer me the job and that they had made the decision on Wednesday already, but somehow that communication just didn't really happen. I had already accepted the first offer at this point, and I thought it was God's way of telling me which job to take. There's no way I can or will back out of my decision now because that would break trust, and in the working world, breaking trust means destroying opportunities and reputation. The second place that I waited for and finally gave me a job offer is now pleading that I change my mind saying that it would be reasonable that I retract my acceptance of the first job (I beg to differ because I'm SURE it'll affect my reputation forever).Now this leaves me wondering. Did I make the right choice?Did I read the signs correctly?My prayer request is that if I had made the correct decision as God would have it, then I'd like peace of mind. If I made the wrong decision, that God could help me rectify the situation. My gut is telling me that I made the right decision but I can't help but feel unsure. If you have any comments on the situation, feel free to expand/discuss as well, in addition to praying, if you will
