Power of Prayer

Come next week, I will have been here in Texas for 3 months. Some days, many days lately, it feels like it has been a very long time.


I have not had the greatest luck in the job search area at all. So far, I have applied for the better part of 60 or more jobs, had maybe 5-10 interviews (if I was lucky), and even recently got rejected from being considered for a serving position at Pizza Hut, being told I wasn't qualified for the position or what they were looking for.


I did have a job briefly for a company that tested tires. I was a driver. It was not a bad job by any means, but the hours were all over the place and most often into the early hours of the morning or all night. No matter how much sleep I got before going in for my shift, I would catch myself nodding off behind the wheel or drifting into the other lane because I was so tired. When I gave my notice to my supervisor that I was quitting, it felt like they didn't quite understand when I said I wasn't being a safe driver. I knew I was endangering myself as well as the other drivers on the road. I tried toughing it out as long as possible because I REALLY, REALLY needed the paycheck. But being safe won out.


I know I have had a team of people praying for me every chance they have that I find a job soon. I have been praying as much as I can too. It just feels so frustrating more days than I can count that I haven't found a decent, reliable job yet when I know several other people have found jobs quickly back home or in a new location.


I have had some help from Matt giving me ideas of places to look or he has even gotten online himself to help me look. I hope he knows how much I appreciate his help and support.


If you are the praying kind, I would certainly appreciate any kind of prayer right now in finding a job that I can make a living at.
