Update on the job front.

I thought I'd send a little update about my job search since you are all so kind to keep inquiring. It means a lot, really.

Last Tuesday I interviewed for a job in the Creative Services department at WORD. It's a job I think I'd really like. The interview was good and now I'm waiting to hear back about a second interview or their decision. They're hoping to let me know by next Friday. Next Friday! That seems like forever. I'm trying not to think about it but I really want this job. Peace comes when I'm reminded that God already knows whether this job is mine or not. What I do with my wait is the more interesting part.

Speaking of my wait...Friday marks the end of my fourth week of unemployment. I spent the first couple of days freaking out (internally), then I started taking better advantage of the time the Lord gave me. And wow, God is so good. It's pretty amazing what He showed me when I was more intentional about my reading. I've had encounters with Him like I haven't had in a while, maybe ever. I've been able to share some of these things with friends and family and it's been a huge blessing. Not to mention the amazing things people have been pouring into me. I have good friends. Also, when I've let myself relax, I find that I'm enjoying this time off (shhhh, don't tell anyone). I've been reading, spending time with Leif and friends, and trying to dive into myself and figure out what it is I want to do right now.

Prayer requests: There are some definite prayer requests right now. Mostly, just for peace and trust. Our God has a perfect track record of providing for us and we need to rest on that. Second, for Leif and I to bind ourselves to Jesus. Financial issues can really fracture a relationship and with Satan looking for any way to splinter marriages, Jesus is our best defender. Lastly, I would like a job. If this job at WORD doesn't work out, pray that something shows itself soon.

In the meantime if you hear of anyone needing help, please let me know. You're the best.
