This has been a rough season in my life as I once again am forced to go on unemployment. Talk about the lowest of lows. I literally have applied for 50+ jobs over the last two weeks. I somehow think that non-teaching job prospects overlook my application thinking that I have no experience other than teaching. Little do they know that teaching requires a lot of secretarial work as well. Sigh. I am not someone that enjoys a lot of down time or just being home all day. I much rather be doing something of significance with my time.
So, with the goal of keeping a happy heart and trusting in God's perfect plan, I reflect on what I am thankful for and some of my favorite memories from this summer:
Thankful for:
-Parents who have been so supportive and encouraging through this whole unemployment thing.
-A wonderful church that constantly reminds me that God is in control and not done with me yet.
-Great friends who make me laugh constantly.
Memories:
-Movies in the park (E.T. and True Grit)
- Precious auntie and sister time this past weekend
-Seahawks game with Melynda, laughing until our sides hurt on the way home.
-Meeting up with Kirsti and her family in San Francisco.
-Spending the day with Jen and sweet Liam.
-Time at home - relaxing with Mom and Dad and helping Grampy around the house.
Looking back, there has never been a time when God hasn't take care of me or when I was so desperate. I know He has something planned and I am trying to trust in His timing. Of course I want a job NOW and I have made that very clear on several occasions but I also don't want to miss whatever it is that God is doing through this process. So, for now, I continue to hold on for the ride and trust that God will pull through, even if it is at the last minute. Until then, I pray for a new and better perspective.
