Hoping Against Hope
Today I had lots of things happen that gave me renewed hope in the job search. For awhile I had stopped - Christmas, losing our Connecticut person and taking over again, etc, but that didn't mean it wasn't on the back burner. It's come full circle again and I'm actively looking for (a) leads and (b) hope.
Even though I technically didn't find any leads today, I did find some hope. This woman I was going to hire (and who had even started training this past weekend) called me today to let me know she found her dream job - even though she wasn't looking. I was perhaps a little too excited for her.
I picked up a calendar from church on Sunday that has a saint of the month, and January's saint is John Nuemann. I always get him confused with John Bosco, but regardless, his quote was my second piece of hope: "Everyone who breathes, high and low, educated and ignorant, young and old, man and woman, has a mission, was a work." Git it John Neumann. I love when Jesus sends me messages.
So here I am - hoping against hope - that things will turn around for me. I think this is the year to make it happen.
