Unemployed

Being unemployed has its perks. You get to go to bed and wake up whenever you want. Be the person who is completely available at all times, so hanging out with friends is pretty easy. Explore, read, write and do just about whatever your little heart desires.

But then, it also has its setbacks as well.

I think I have found myself in that second season of unemployment; the season where it's just downright frustrating.

I have been applying everyday for jobs, and so far the only place to get back to me was a scam. Sigh.

I am trying to stay positive, and continue to trust that God will provide an opportunity for me soon. I guess the 'right one' has not come along yet. I am beyond blessed and grateful to be receiving unemployment though. It's not a lot of money, by any means, but it is helping.

In the meantime, however, I am making it a point to be as productive as I can be. I refuse to allow this season to be one of laziness. I wake up every morning, have myself a cup of coffee, get into the Word (right now I am studying through the Epistles. It's grand!), read my daily devotional from My Utmost For His Highest, journal and then job hunt. I feel like hunting for a job is almost like a job; it usually takes up most of my morning and afternoon. I am glad I am in this routine though, because if it were any other way, I would feel like a bum. No offense, but that just ain't me.

I am still aiming for Financial Health for 2012! I am just going to have a late start on that one...
