Job Hunting

I have been searching for a job since the end of August. It is not easy because there are not a lot of jobs out there. I have not worked in over 20 years, so I guess that might make it more difficult for me too.

Today I had my first interview. I was not looking forward to it because it was way over in Clearwater and it was for a telemarketing job. I decided to go anyway and check it out. I spent the time before I got there in prayer trying to find out if this was the job God wanted for me. I was not nervous at all because I believed that if it was the right job, He would tell me.

I had too many reservations about the job after the interview, so I don't think I will be taking it. I am not upset about that. I know that God and my family love me and that they want me to get a job that will make me happy.

Spending time looking for a job can be depressing. This time around I have decided to pray before I do any looking. I am not desperate and I intend to stay upbeat. I know how difficult it is and I feel sorry for those out there that feel they need to take the first job that comes along. I hope I never get to that point. I saw lots of people at this company today that seem to be in that position.

If we all let God lead our lives instead of trying to do it ourselves, how much better would our lives be? My New Year's resolution is to try to remember to put God at the center of my family, life and relationships.

Happy New Year and may we all have a better year!
