On the job hunt

It is hard to believe it has been 4 weeks since I was laid off. Since then I have been walking through a journey of God's healing but also moving forward with looking for work. I've been on 4 job interviews but no job yet. I know that God has the best one out there for me but I must admit the waiting is hard. Everyday I'm searching a list of job post sites to see if there is anything I can put my resume into. But I must tell you the competition increases with the economy right now and the Unemployment in Canada continuing to rise. BUT I know God is lining something up that will not only be something I enjoy but provide financially as well. And I know it shall be soon. The problem is my soon and God's soon are two very different things :)

Besides job hunting everyday, I've loved having the opportunity to seek God's face with no time limit on it each day due to schedules. There has been such a wonderful place of being 'Mary' instead of Martha' with the Lord. It is a season I'm treasuring to just 'be' with Christ. I've also been busy with having coffee with friends, keep the house clean, filing, organizing, do some baking, try out new recipes, do my workout everyday and sew, sew, sew! I haven't been able to do that in years and it is a hobby I enjoy.

I'm also thankful I still have my other job of teaching piano. I really enjoy having students to teach and pour into through music. I call it my 'hobby' job but I'm shocked every week at how much I look forward to teaching. It is a true gift - music that is - and what better than to invest that gift into others. I'm so glad the Lord created music and worship through it.

So I've finally reached a place of 'contentment' this week which is the first since circumstances blew my world apart with being laid off. It is a good place to be and I look with great anticipation and excitement for what God has next. Until then I sit at His feet, enjoying each day and thank Him for He is good!
