An Unexpected Call........................

 By now, Philip had applied for Over 30 Jobs in the Railroad Industry, but had received only 1 Interview! Daily we continued to seek God in Prayer about our Situation and Trusted that He Surely Must have a Plan!
Philip continued to Help out at the Basketball Tournament at Fort Bluff Camp and would do that during the Week, Tuesday thru Friday, and come home on the Weekends. The Tournament was going to go on for 3 Weeks. At the Beginning of the 3rd week, on a Monday, he got a Phone call from CN Railroad. They were one of the 30 jobs that he had applied for. They were asking him if he could come in for an Interview. However, not Only did they want him to do the Interview the Very Next Day, on Tuesday, but wanted him to travel to Jackson, Mississippi to one of their Facilities.  Since he had made a Commitment to help out at the Tournament, in Tennessee, he had to tell them he would be unable to do it and explained to them the situation.. They asked him if he would be willing to do a Telephone Interview the  next day on Tuesday and of Course He said Yes! They set up a time for 1:00 p.m and the Conversation ended. He hung up the phone and was a little shocked, because a Telephone Interview is just something the RR normally doesn't do. But on the Other Hand, when God is Directing and in Control of things in your Life, ANYTHING is Possible!
Tuesday came and as 1:00 o'clock was approaching here was Philip's words to me......"Now Sharon, you Cannot say anything while I am on this Phone Interview.  You know, like trying to tell ME what to Say"! This made me Laugh............He knows me All too Well!
So I decided to go to the Other End of the House into the Master Bathroom and PRAY!  The Phone Rang promptly at 1:00 o'clock.  I could not even imagine how Philip was feeling! For someone who had only been to 1 Interview in 35 years and Now to be doing a 2nd one and it was over the Telephone. It made me Nervous for Him!!
While the Interview was going on, I could hear what Philip was saying and though I knew that He had inspected RR cars for 35 years and obviously Knew what he was doing, I must say that I was Highly Impressed with how Well he Really did Know his Job! He seemed to have a Very Detailed Answer for Every Question they asked.
At the End of the Interview they Asked him a Very Important Question...."Why Mr. Coleman should our Company Hire You?"  His first Response was "Well, I need a Job".
When I heard that I thought......"PLEASE Lord give him Something else to Say"! Then He said, "Because if you Hire Me, with My 35 Years Experience you will NOT have to Train me because I already am a  Journeyman Carman".
"GOOD JOB HONEY"! I was Cheering him on, from the Bathroom....LOL!!

The Interview ended and they Told him that a Decision would be made in about 6 weeks as to who they would be Hiring.
So the WAIT Continues.......................................................
