| My life's ups and downs... |
| Friday, July 30, 2010 I have been thinking today --- about my life, lack of work, being alone --- wondering if I will ever be content, if I will ever find and embrace my purpose in this life. Maybe tomorrow will be better. I am signing off now... until we meet again. |
| Thursday, July 29, 2010 The countdown is on... This week potential employment opportunities were more forthcoming. I'm getting excited. I am thankful for open doors that no man can shut and closed doors that no man can open. If God is for me, who can be against me. Nothing can separate me from His love. Here is to a new day! God bless you for reading my ramblings... |
| Tuesday, July 27, 2010 -- 10:43pm CST My week is going well. I believe my job is just around the corner. Now all I need to do is find the right corner. I am beginning to adapt to my living situation more and more with each passing day. My parents are becoming less overbearing and more endearing... in my mind's eye. I'm enjoying the company of two of my sisters on a regular basis after having lived hundreds of miles apart for most of our adult lives. I just finished reading LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA, a very good book authored by a Mexican writer by the name of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Our book club meeting is August 5. Next month's book is LET THE GREAT WORLD SPIN, by Colum McCann. My sister has already started reading it and so far she really doesn't like it much... finds it hard to stay focused on the book, etc. So, we'll see. I hope I like it more than she does. Otherwise, I'm in for a boring bit of reading. Well, ta ta for now. Have a restful night. |
| Friday, July 23, 2010 Still looking for work... bored as a lone lion in the desert --- hungry, thirsty and weary with nothing but time on my hands --- yet can't find the motivation to write. Plan to check out the classifieds, clean house and read today... and then check out some of the contests on here. Have an inspired weekend! |
| Saturday, July 17, 2010 As the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years roll by, I still wonder what "specifically" I "personally" was created for ---- what is my ultimate purpose as to work, family, fun... Am I fulfilling that purpose? I don't believe I am to the fullest extent because not only is my day-to-day life frustrating, but I often experience great frustration in my dreams. Today --- bless me my heavenly Father, bless my friends, family ----- all who cross my path ----- in the name of Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Create in me a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Be glorified in everything I endeavor to do and everything I avoid for Your righteousness sake. Holy Spirit, hover over me, protect me from all evil, convict me of not only all sin but of the path of righteousness laid out before me. Lord Jesus, cover me with Your blood; make my way straight and prosperous. Amen. |
| Tuesday, July 14, 2010 It's been a busy but seemingly unproductive day... Yesterday I did a lot --- cleaned house, did laundry, cooked dinner, washed dishes. Today pales in comparison. I was able to buy a home charger for my cell phone and ordered a charger for my Bluetooth --- both of which were lost in my recent move. Those darn things are expensive to replace. But, at least I'm good to go for awhile. I intend to do some reading, reviewing and writing sometime this week. Have been much too lax of late. Have a great week and keep looking up! =) |
| Saturday, July 10, 2010 It's been a good week. Went swimming at with my sister, Missy, and family... My sister, Cindy, arrived on July 2. I had another job interview... I'm still spending a lot of time sending out letters and resumes. May God help us all. |
| Tuesday, July 2, 2010 As the clouds continually change, float past in the sky, so the days move forward subtlely different with regularity. A break from the daily grind of the office has been good for me in a demented sort of way... Obviously, I needed time off to renew, reassess and refocus. Yet, like a fish out of water, I have floundered a bit ---- wondering if I'd be thrown back in, eaten or just left to die. Morbid, yes? |
| Friday, June 25, 2010 News flash: We have found the enemy. His name is "Procrastinization." |
| Tuesday, June 22, 2010 It has been three-plus months now since I resigned and moved to Daphne, Alabama from St. Petersburg, Florida. I have been sending letters and resumes, going to interviews, etc., without success. If you're reading this and have any ideas, strategies to suggest, please let me hear from you. It has really been a tough row to hoe. May God bless your journey. |
