Where I place my hope

I still have not gotten a job offer. I know that I could be really stressed out about this, but I have been working really hard on making sure that I am placing my hope in Christ. Today during work I listened to a sermon I missed while I was home a few weeks ago. It is titled Being a Woman and if you are interested you can listen to it here. It reminded me once again that ultimately I have no control over my future and stressing is not going to help. I need to learn to be happy with who I am and trust that God, who loves me, will take care of me and lead me to the position that is right for me. He knows me better than I do and other than put in dozens of job applications there isn't much else I can do right now. Which is exactly what I have been doing. There is nothing for me to do in the office since summer camp is over and the school year doesn't start for about another month so I have been filling our job applications nonstop.

I have another job interview tomorrow afternoon. I applied to this position a month ago and I had written it off since I hadn't heard from them until now. It would be another Americorp position so it would not pay very well, but I just agreed to live in the MVS house for another year as an associate. This means that I will be a member of the MVS house community and take part in their activities while paying rent instead of working as a volunteer. I know three people who have done this job before and they all said they liked it and that I would be really good at it so I am very hopeful that it will work out.

In other, more fun, news on Saturday our house went to the beach! It was nice to get away and do something different. This also means that I got nothing done over the weekend and my room is a mess not to mention the pile of laundry I need to work on. We had a lot of fun though (despite getting mixed up on the buses in Ocean City and wasting a lot of time and some money). I got a sunburn on my back though so I ended up bringing back a little more than hidden sand.
