Employment...

To be honest. Job hunting is NO fun. Although I'm sure you all know this. For those who are employed. Take a moment to be thankful for this. For those with me in unemployed bliss. I. Feel. Your. Pain. I would say one of the most discouraging things is Job Hunting.

The culture we live in tells us. We must work. Work is important. Working makes you who you are. Well I don't exactly agree with this. True. We must work. Work is important. I even love working. But work does not define me. However working gives me the resources to survive. Right now. Those resources are drying up.

I am beginning to stress [I'm not an easily stressed person]. But mostly I am discouraged. The emotions of having no replies to extreme amounts of resumes, to jobs that are not unrealistic is as I said discouraging. I love where I live. I love that I found an adorable church. I love that I am living with my best friend. But I am discouraged.

So say a prayer for me. Let me know if you want me to say a prayer for you. And if anything be encouraged by Matthew 7,

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks recieves; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened" (Matthew 7: 7-8, NIV).
