Unfortunate News

I received a call earlier this week from Harvard University ... the only place that really showed any interest in hiring me. They, unfortunately for me, have decided to "go with someone else" for this position. Surprisingly, I'm ok with this. Don't get me wrong; I am disappointed, but I guess this just wasn't meant to be. I canceled my plans for that evening and my family was good enough to leave me at home alone, and I wept uncontrolled for several minutes, perhaps even half an hour ... I didn't time it. ;) But we must move on, right? So I said goodbye to visions of Harvard, washed my face, ran on the treadmill to distract myself, and prayed. Now, as much as I wanted this job, I want God's will in my life even more, so I am truly at peace with this. The hardest part is telling people the news. So many people come up to me expectantly asking "do you have good news yet?" and I have to say, "no good news." So now it is back to the drawing board. I have about half a dozen applications out yet and probably just as many more to send out as I get them prepared, so all is not lost. But now I must return to a question I asked quite some time ago ... where will I end up?

North Carolina? California? Delaware? Maryland? Texas? I only wish I knew.
