Holding On

First off, this site is pretty neat!  I'll take a little while to learn, but I'm pretty stoked about it!  I am currently pretty mad at this economy.  As a recent college grad I'm finding it extremly difficult to find a job.  I've put in more applications and resumes and I'm getting sick of writing cover letters.  I've been job searching since January to try and secure a job before my May graduation.  Here it is almost July, and I still don't have anything.  Everyone keeps telling me to hold on, something will come.  I know it will.  I've prayed about it, and I know that God is faithful and will provide for me ... but the waiting is extremly hard. 

I just got married in May and my husband is in graduate school.  So for the next year we're depending on my income.  I am trusting and holding on to God's promise that He will put me where He wants me.  I have a strong desire to work with youth.  I have so much energy and love to give away.  I can't imagine my life sitting behind a desk, but working with youth and helping make a difference in their lives is what keeps me going.  Right now I know I'll just have to work to get by, and hopefully volunteer until the opportunity appears. 

I'm in a new city.  I've left all my friends, my family, and all my comfort zones.  It's just me and my husband.  But with each day I feel God teaching me and leading me where He wants me to go.  I know He will provide for us and that His timing is perfect.  I need to learn how to let go, and let God.  Today I'm looking up and enjoying the gifts He's given me.  And I will continue to serve Him until He puts me where He wants me.  No matter how long I have to wait.
