My mind is swimming with the things that I am learning and screaming about today. My first screaming moment came from the bureaucracy of job searching. I mean, how many hurdles do you have to go through! The phrase that I muttered under my breath was that this was like an "act of congress" came up more than one time today. My biggest question is: How do you get in the door? You may think you have all your proverbial ducks in a row, but with every application it becomes more tedious. The hours you spend with your neck in literal pain, well they have to pay off somehow, right?
It's hard not to overwhelm with yourself (especially if you are me) with the logical and persistent need to be at your computer searching for jobs AT ALL TIMES. Enjoying and resting in this in between time will soon come to an end, so it's okay to take breaks to get ice cream with your mom or make cookies for your dad.
Then I got to thinking, what if we would make an honest effort in thankfulness? Even in the moments when we are frustrated, we see what is good, beautiful, and perfect, how will that change our trust of God. I've learned that when we trust God with our lives, (some of us are a harder sell), it takes us longer to completely give ourselves over to trusting Him with everything. Posturing a position of total thankfulness in the midst of our most difficult times is not always easy, but it's amazing to see the walls of distrust fall down.
So praise report: I have an appointment on Wednesday to discuss the opportunities available in the non-profit sector. It's a bit of a different direction that I have been on, but I would be remiss not to learn more about this arena of work. In the interim, tutoring is on the table as well, as I flush out all available opportunities. Pray for wisdom and guidance in pursuing these next steps!
