Daily Routines...

So this whole... not having a job thing... Not so much fun!

I mean, at first it was kinda nice to have some time off to rest and chill. But now it's BORING! So I've tried to get myself in a routine of sorts.

I'm not a morning person, so this has been incredibly important for me.

I won't go into details... but I have my coffee, do some job searching via internet. Spend some time in the word. Maybe watch a movie or an episode of friends if I'm in the mood.

Somedays I go out and apply at various places... Those are the WORST! I hate going place to place looking for jobs. NOT FUN!

But for the most part it's pretty boring.
I keep praying that the right job will come along. I'm trying to keep faith.
But it's hard when nothing is happening. Thank the Lord for Unemployment checks. (Yes... I am drawing unemployment. Not something I really wanted to do, but when I was laid off, everyone at my work told me the importance of doing this. It's something the company pays for when they lay off people. So CBL... I'm going to take all that I can get from you!!!)

life changes part 2

So nothing is settled in my life right now... and I haven't wanted to write about it/admit it for a while.
I'm still looking for a job, both here and in Texas.
I actually just found out that a job I was really interested in I didn't get. So that's fun.

I've gone back and forth for weeks about staying in Virginia or moving to Texas. And last week I prayed that the Lord would give me a sign about what I'm supposed to do by the middle of this week. So now I'm asking is this the sign I prayed for?

I mean there are other jobs that I've applied for, but I asked the Lord specifically for a sign, and today I don't get a job here.

I don't know what I'm going to do... still.

There's a part of me that wants to move to Texas to be closer to my family, to help them with their church (that's a big desire). But then I know that my life there would be so different from my life here. I have friends here that I love and enjoy spending time with. Going out late on a Saturday night to just talk and catch up. Or just to have these friends to call when I'm down. It's such a blessing. I know that I could find friends in Texas, but I know that it wouldn't be the same. At least not at first.

So that's where I'm at. Asking God if this is the sign that I asked Him for, or if I need to wait longer. Any thoughts?
