LOL. I'm glad you could see the humor in that.
God certainly has a way of pointing us in the right direction. As the Bible says, "The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his path." God will clear the path, but you still have to choose which way you're going to take. You made a difficult choice, but I agree with you that it was necessary to stay true to your faith.
Good luck with your new job!
