Whew.
Blogger appears to be back and running!
Yay!!!
I imagine that there was a lot of stress for them
as blogger was down for a whole day,
which in social media these days is like a year.
We of little patience.
God save us.
Well,
after that unexpected day of seeing people
trained to help me get a job two years later,
I realized once again that I was caught off guard.
Really I have yet to learn to live as a Christian.
By which I mean that the more rooted a Christian is,
the less likely unexpected correlations and events
will throw them off.
I have much to learn but I am thankful that God's mercies
are new every morning.
Last evening I got news that I do have a second interview
in person sometime next week.
*
2 years, my friends, of interviewing.
Will this interview be my last for a while?
Really, even when I did have work,
I was still interviewing every year;
my first jobs were temporary contracts,
a year or less.
I have not counted how many interviews and applications I have done.
Applications certainly 100 or more.
Interviews... 20 at minimum in the last years...
Don't you just love this picture?
I do.
It is of my favourite walk to see my beloved
favourite tree
and actually one of my favourite houses.
I realized I must go back again to do some
actual photographs of the house.
Actually it is just the back of the house.
I just love it.
Ramshackled.
Eccentric.
Large Angel white statue with wings,
metal bird shapes in the back yard;
it reminds me of how I thought things would be for me
one day.
You know,
Family, house, eccentric book filled goodness,
not streamlined or at all corporate or minimalist.
No, just full of life,
a place where all would feel welcome.
Anyway.
That is what that house reminds me of.

Yesterday a good friend emailed their
assurances of prayer as I go towards another interview.
In the email was included that all my dreams
would be fulfilled.
I feel like I have had my hopes dashed so many times.
That I have lost so much,
so many dreams of what I thought my life would be.
By the end of June I will be half way to being 35.
(i.e. end of December I will be 35).
I never dreamed that the end of my twenties and early thirties
would be filled with uncertainty and continual job searching.
But I also never dreamed that I would be in
the Orthodox church and have a spiritual father.
So I have been given something very great...
*
Anyway.
It is hard not to get my hopes up about this new
interview. Even though I know that work itself
is not easy.
*
Meanwhile,
I will continue to seek to learn to pray with hope.
*
Christ is Risen.

Indeed He is Risen!
There is a reason clairvoyance is only given to the most holy of people - the rest of us wouldn't be able to handle it. Goodness knows I couldn't have bourne knowing some of the things I was to go through, but God's grace has brought me this far. I've decided that not being able to see into the future is actually a gift.
((hugs)) and prayers!
My favorite picture here is the first one, with the light filtering through the branches of that tree!
So glad to know you have that second interview. I know I always hear how good for a person it is, to do interviews, to get the practice. You must be an expert now!
