Monday - St. Elisabeth - and Interview Prep


Today is St. Elisabeth the New Martyr's day!


St. Elisabeth's name's Saint is


St. Elizabeth the Mother of St. John the Baptist...


which is cool because it means that St. Elizabeth the New


and I share the same name's day Saint :)



Cute casual tea pot and dish; someone left it outside their


place and I snapped a picture...


Speaking of tea, I am really wanting to have tea parties.


My cousin called the other night and I


told him all about my various interviews


and he commented that it could be boring


and I realized that this is true.


Crazy to think, since I still don't have stable work,


but I've had so many interviews in the last year


that the nerves and interview prep does get a bit old


after a while.


But I am seeking to be thankful.


Actually I think I am inwardly dragging about it all;


I find it hard to get ready for another interview;


I think in someways it just seems so, well, futile.


I know I have to fight such thoughts


but after so many interviews without job offers


it feels like a race that I just can't win or finish.


I have a feeling all 4 of my last interviews will be 'no'...


3 of them already were such;


Clearly I am in need of more prayer (yours and mine please)


and continual work on my outlook / attitude.



Meanwhile,

I really would like another tea party

and, while I am dreaming, another research contract;

I do love this work a lot...

*

I think I could like the job I am interviewing for too

but, well, pray for me,

if you pray...

interview is tomorrow morning...

I will work on my thanksgivings tonight;

I need thankfulness like a fish needs water!
