Wednesday was full of sunshine and yellow autumn leaves

Cleo and I are still hanging out;

no job news yet.

*

It was a beautiful day today.

I visited with some dear friends

and am rereading the book on Elder Cleopa,

Shepherd of Souls,

which is a real joy to read.

*

Soon I will either be starting a new job,

moving to start a new job

or looking for other jobs in Ottawa in another way;

but this week I need to wait

soon I should know more.

*

So I realized the best thing to do with my days right now

is to be with friends and

read books that will be to my spiritual benefit.

Treasure the time I am given

as soon it will be different.

*

I must say it is almost like a joke,

my not hearing back from these interviews.

But God knows and He is merciful.

Well, no news is good news, right?

Almost the close of the last business day of the week.

I got an email saying that the position here

in Ottawa is yet undecided.

So another weekend of not knowing.

I received wise counsel

to continue to be patient

and that

this too will pass.

I must admit I find it hard.

Of course I've also been more house-bound this week

due to a head cold.

If I do anything, I always do it well,

and getting a cold is no exception!!

*

I applied to another job today;

It was a struggle as my mind feels bogged down with

what in Alabama is called The Sinus.

But the application was due today and so

it is done.

*

God sure is merciful to me a sinner;

I can get all frustrated about the wait

and I am still comforted...

*

Wishing everyone a good weekend

with the comfort of God that comes from

Him and from His Church...
