It has been three weeks since I have graduation here at Emmanuel. I officially have a degree and am jobless. I know that there are many of us in this place, although at times it seems like most of my friends have it all figured out. They either have a job lined up or more school ahead. Well honestly I have no idea! I have applied for close to 20 jobs, and had one interview (which I did not get). At times it can be a bit discouraging trying to find work, as well as I am really praying that it will be something I will enjoy. I would love to finally do a job in the type of career I would like to have. Sometimes I do wonder if life will get easier, if there will be a time when I will not be wondering about whether I can afford groceries or other life things. And although I pray that day comes, I also know that I will follow God regardless, because no matter what He provides. And while at times it may be discouraging when I am not working I know that in His time God will provide just the right job.
Matthew 6 tells us "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" (Matthew 6: 25-27; NIV). Life is so much more than the cloths we wear or the food we eat, and although I do see the value in this it is important to remember that the God we serve is a mighty, loving God who looks after each and everyone of us. So as I continue my search for work and so do some of you, I pray that God will provide you with the work you need, and that we truly serve Him through everything we do!

A job is not everything. I have a job that pays the bills and is decent compared to many people but still is a struggle everyday for me. I still struggle with whether or not to return to school. So even though I have job security and financial means met it isn't all that it is cracked up to be.
ReplyDeleteFind a job you enjoy that challenges you and makes you happy. Find a job that is the job for you. I know there will be many opportunities for you out there and that you will flourish in them.
Thanks for all your comments James and for reading my blog ! Much Appreciated !
