How Long?

Have you ever wonder how long you’ll be stuck at a job that you don’t enjoy? I do, daily. I’m sure that’s probably not the right attitude but that’s just where I’m at. I know that God sometimes has us in places that don’t make sense to us but fit in the big picture. I’m trusting that’s what this is. I’ve been working at the same company off and on for about 5 years. I am good at what I do and it’s definitely not brain surgery. However, I’m at the point in my life where I need something challenging. I want a position where I can use my gifts and abilities. I know I’m not called to be stuck behind a desk all day where sometimes I make up stuff for myself to do so I won’t be bored.

This morning as I sit and make phone calls, I am struggling just to stay awake. Not my idea of an ideal work environment. Don’t get me wrong, I am very thankful for my job. I have great bosses that are continually trying to give back to the employees for their hard work. When I got in this morning, there was an envelope with a gift card thanking me for pulling double duty while some people were on vacation. How many bosses do that? I shouldn’t complain as much as I do but I just get frustrated. I always tell myself, “I can do anything as long as I know it’s not forever.”

Josh is in school right now so I’m believing that when he gets out he’ll get a kick butt job so I can pursue other things like maybe opening my own accessory store. How crazy and wonderful would that be? Plus, it’s always been my desire to not have to work once we had kids. We’ll see! I’m not going to fret or worry – just trust. I’m doing my part to get my resume together and network with people that I know have connections. I know God will work on my behalf as well.
