Unemployed Blues? Not really

It's been a month since organized chaos arrived at my front door. Nah, actually, it crashed through my bedroom window and into my life. I call it organized because I have full trust in God and know that there is a method to the perceived madness. I'm still unemployed (sort of) and the relationship is seriously over. Yes, we ended up conversing again. But, of course, it didn't go anywhere because that's not where I'm supposed to be. I'm a hard headed little girl. But anywho.....

The job search would be easy if I knew what I wanted to do. I have so many dreams. There are lots of things that I like to do. But those things don't really pay the bills. I want to open my own salon and spa. I spoke briefly about it in my last post. And when I was employed, I applied at the Aveda Institue. OMG! I fell in love! I wanted to go soooo bad. But, the classes are full time (all day) and I couldn't quit my job. Plus, I have rent and other bills. Well, out the blue, chick from Aveda calls me. She says that there are scholarship opportunities available. I told her that I would come in and talk to her and hear what she has to say. Is that you, God?

Today, I went to the mall to turn in some applications. I applied at Victoria's Secret and at Macy's. A friend referred me to both. As I was walking in, I hear someone calling me and it's a fellow church member. She ends up taking me up stairs to apply and then shows me around and introduces me to people in different areas like I already work there! You gotta walk that thing out like it's already yours. Is that you, God?

Tomorrow, I have training at this cosmetics place in a different mall. It's nothing big. I actually just stumbled into it. I was walking around and the girl asked me if I wanted to get my face done. I said, sure. And we began talking and now I have training tomorrow.

Honestly, I don't want to go back to working some job just to make money. I want to enjoy what I'm doing and be fulfilled. So, prayerfully, something will come up... soon.

Be blessed.

I am praying with you that you will be able to branch out into the kind of work that will fulfill you heart and soul. I know how you feel. I love what I do right now and hope to continue ministering to families but I am also praying for another employment situation that will allow me to be fulfilled in all areas and not just in paying the bills which is basically all I am doing now.

It's nice to see God opening doors for you! Keep your head up, sis.

I had to say this...I feel like you are speaking to my heart because I'm going through it with you sister. I was laid off in January and I NO LONGER WANT TO WORK DOING SOMETHING I DON'T LOVE but I know God freed me from the job to lift me to what is next. I can never see the full picture as he does...I can never rip the bandaid off like he does. I am so grateful that he never stops loving me. I know that things will be okay...for both of us.
Blessings, my sister, blessings.
