"Look at the nations and watch--and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." --Habakkuk 1:5

Happy Thursday, everyone!  I have been taking full advantage of enjoying the spring/summer sun by rolling down the windows and sunroof and singing at the top of my lungs with my oversized sunglasses on.  And of course, sipping on a coke.  I think I may be deserting my fellow Okie's by refusing Dr. Pepper.  Woops.

I've been doing a lot of praying about the job situation.  It seems like every door has been shut in my face and while I'm trying to keep my spirits up and my faith high, nothing has happened.  And then I tend to get into an argue with God about how He hasn't provided me with what I want and then I question Him why He has given everyone else a job.  Lovely thinking, right? 

I watched one of my favorite movies a couple of nights ago.  For those of you who haven't seen this movie, here is a brief synopsis.  It is a spin-off of Bruce Almighty - a movie about a guy who gets all of "God's power" for about a week and ultimately learns in the end that he can't handle everything.  This time, Evan (played by Steve Carrell) recently moves with his wife and three sons to be a congressman.  Along the way, God tells Evan that he is to build an ark because a flood is coming (kind of like the bible story, Noah's Ark).  I remember a specific scene when it starts to rain and then suddenly stops.  Evan then says out loud that this can't be it and there has to be more of a flood coming. 

That's how I feel right now - I feel as if there are all of these opportunities that come flooding in, but they can't take me because I'm not officially certified.  Then all of these recruiting companies call me, but they never call me back.  I feel like I'm running around in circles and constantly hitting the "attach resume" button to every single opportunity I can find.  Pathetic?  Maybe.  Annoying?  Definitely.

Always have faith in God's plan.  He knows what's best for you (although I selfishly try to argue with that statement), and He'll take care of your needs.  The opportunity will come when you least expect it.  Don't lose hope.  Keep on truckin', as my grandpa would say.  

Lots of love,
