Everything in its right place.
There is a ton of stuff up in the air. I continue to do my best and invest all that I can to create the most favorable outcome, but sometimes I just have to be patient while god takes care of the rest. Like when Billy is chopping down the tree in Where the Red Fern Grows.
I have multiple job applications up in the air right now.
I've presented myself as best I can at every opportunity.
I have exercised all the connections that I have.
So I was thinking to myself, "man! it will be nice when things settle down." (i.e. it'll be nice to get back in my comfort zone). But then...I thought on this teaching I've been listening to by Malcolm Smith, and a lot of what I've been learning from my experience these days. Sure, these current issues will be resolved. I will know if I'm hired or not. And if I am I will work hard. If I'm not I will apply elsewhere. But things will never be "settled down." To totally bring out my own potential to the fullest I will always have to be stepping out of my comfort zone. If I was to instantly have everything that I wanted I would miss the growth inducing experience of earning it all.
I realized this a few weeks ago concerning my "desire" to be an elementary school teacher. It's something I'm "comfortable" with. and that I could work my way into without ever leaving my comfort zone. I was almost ready to give into that instead of pursuing my true passion as a healer. Just cuz I was (still am?) uncomfortable with all the challenges that lie on the path to med-school and that entire career, but I know that it is where I will find my greatest potential, and so it is where I must go.
There is plenty of work to be done; always. But somethings get to the point where all you can do is cross your fingers and pray for favor.
