Spinning Round

Oh, the joys of job hunting. I suddenly have hours a day to consider what I really really want out of a job, and I’m completely overwhelmed. I’ve analyzed my personality, read countless articles with advice from experts, and spent hours on every job search engine imaginable, yet still feel completely clueless about the whole thing. I know that work is good and from God, but I’m starting to wonder if he really has a specific role for me to play, or if those thoughts are merely delusions. I suppose this is understandable since I’ve put in quite a few hours of job hunting recently and in the past year.

Realistically, I know that I can’t count on or depend on the perfect job to offer me security. However, ideally it would be nice to find a position that is a bit more long-term than all of my attempts in L.A. I wish that God would serve up the “right” job on a silver platter so that I’d know what his plans are.

In frustration, I reminded him of Jeremiah 29:11 the other day. Within seconds, he chided me that the verse is NOT “For you know the plans I have for you” but IS “For I know the plans I have for you,” and I was sufficiently rebuffed.

With all of that said, welcome to my first ever attempt at National Blog Posting Month. Since my free time is currently abundant, I figure I can easily blog every single day this month (plus, this is a slightly less ambitions project than National Novel Writing Month, which I previously considered). But hey, who knows. Perhaps I’ll start that novel I’ve always longed to write as well.
