It is hard many-a-days to stay motivated and to be patient for things to take a positive turn. Still dealing with the unpredictiveness of my husband's very long-term unemployment period. I pray that he will have something that he enjoys to do really soon (He LOVES the media...so anything that pertains to radio and TV production, etc). There is some hope on the horizon for it, but it is still very blurry. He had to settle for the "to-do" for now, by taking positions that just help with meeting paying the living expenses for many years....not really using his gifts to the full. Unfortunatley, so many people are in this predicament right now. I must be patient and wait for God's timing on it; It is SO hard tho - to wait. I am even on the edge of my career path as well and waiting to make that move on to new opportunities, what God has in store for me. I do feel that "internal shift" that something good is going to happen, just don't know when or how. Oh Lord, waiting is so hard!!!!!
But if we look forward to something we don't yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently. ~ Romans 8:25 (NLT)
Blessings within the waiting........
