The post without a picture

Well...I have applied for jobs pretty much all over the place. Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, and who knows where else at this point. I really would like to find a job somewhere I can see myself working for awhile. I want to put down roots somewhere. I dont really care where. I have been living out of boxes since May. Id love to be able to have my things unpacked and actually be able to find things again. Once I am able to unpack I probably wont even remember what I have. But Im trying to be patient, and not get in a rush to find something, I have been praying about it alot. Sometimes I feel like God is pulling me in one direction, then less than 24 hours later I feel pulled in another direction. No matter what tho, I know that God has a plan.

Proverbs 16:9 "The heart of man plans his way,but the Lord establishes his steps." ESV

I really feel like in the next few weeks I feel that I will really begin to see where the Lord wants me to be. Im not trying to put God on some kind of time frame, because I know he does what he wants when he wants, but there will be some things that will happen in the next few weeks that will determine alot. At this point I really dont know where he wants me to be, or what he wants me to do. I mean, I know what Im passionate about. I love kids, I love being active, Id be happy to spend most of my work day outside playing with kids so If I found a job where I could do that, itd be awesome. But I'm also really organized and not to bad at doing stuff in an office. I like making to do lists and checking things off. Im such a dork that sometimes I even write things that I have already done on my list just so I can cross it off. But anyways, the point is, I could work in an office too, and like it. I know God will be able to use me where ever I am, and that is really awesome that he gives us all unique gifts and talents. I appreciate the job that I have now, it has helped me make it over the past several months, It just would be nice to find something permanant so that I can afford to go to the dentist/doctor, take my dogs to the vet to get their overdue shots, and pay my car insurance and get my car tags renewed next month, but right now I dont even know what state Ill be in... oh and I got to thinking the other day that I will be filling taxes this year on 3 jobs in 3 states.. that will be interesting to say the least, but thats not the first time I have done that so Im sure ill figure it out...
Anyways, Its been easy for me recently to get down about the economy and job market and stuff, and all the other things that seem to go wrong. Then I am reminded how blessed I am... just look at the news and you will realize how blessed you are. Earlier as I was getting ready for bed I turned on the water and let it run for a few seconds till it was warm so that I could wash my face. As I was waiting for the water to get warm I remembered some of the headlines I had read earlier about those people in Haiti that dont have water, and thought about how there are people there that will die because they dont have water, and lots of other people will die around the world too because they dont have clean drinking water either, and here I am letting nice, clean, cold water run down the drain so that I can get warm water. We are blessed in more ways than we can imagine. I know I take so many things for granted. I hope and pray that I will be more thankful for His blessings, and that I will learn how to love others the same way that he has loved us.
