7 Quick Takes Friday (#20)

1. I've been discretely alluding to turning in an application for a job I am considering... well, I found out this week that I got an interview! Very exciting!
2. To prepare for this interview extravaganza, I've decided to pray a novena to the Holy Spirit. I've never done a novena before, so it is a new thing for me, but it's been fun so far. If I keep it up, I will finish up next Thursday, which is the day before my interview weekend!
3. Yes, I am dragging this out, I suppose... but my interview is not a one hour thing, it's a whole weekend extravaganza!
4. The weekend will be filled with sharing my personal faith journey (which I just did at the Newman Center), individual interviews, group activities, and time for prayer, reflection, and Mass.
5. If you haven't deduced by now, I am interviewing with FOCUS!
6. I'm hoping that the interview weekend will be good for my discernment process, that it will be a weekend where I can truly see myself working as a FOCUS missionary or realize that I am called to something else. Throughout all of my discernment, I feel called to FOCUS, but I am hoping that this weekend will be really definitive for me, which is why I am also praying the novena in preparation.
7. So, will you pray for me while I'm at my interview weekend? It's March 4-6, with most of the interviews happening on Friday and Saturday. I would really appreciate it!
