But there's no one left to blame, in every life a little rain, etc.
Didn't get the job in New Orleans that I *really* wanted. They just sent me an email that I was qualified....but there were other people more qualified. *deflates* Considering I have more credentials than 99% of my career field...I'm not feeling too sure of the rest of my chances right now. I've also applied at 3 other jobs. 2 of which I am SUPER qualified for and one I am about half qualified for. But- I've been reading a lot lately about how the Lord does have a plan for us and His timing is perfect. God tells us that His timing is a mystery because He won't give us (or put us through) anything until we are ready for it. But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! (Habakkuk 2:3 TLB).
I'm struggling with that. I want a new, better paying job and a new city to live in NOW. And who is really *good* at dealing with disappointment and/or rejection? Still. I trust God knows what He is doing better than I know what He is doing (because otherwise I'd be God and then we'd all be in dire trouble). So I am going to work on banishing this negative energy of disappointment and despair and cynicism and be happy for what I do have and be prepared to move onward and upward. *nods*
