I found an old thread I wrote just over a year ago about being frustrated because I couldn't find a job. I had just come home from a mission trip 4 months prior. (You can read it here.)
Well, I have been home now for 19 months and am still unable to find a job. I am not so frustrated now. I just feel a bit stuck. Lately, I have found myself crying wondering when this will all be over.
My pastor preached last Sunday about how we all go through trials but sometimes we tell God, "Okay God, I am done with this trial now. Pull me out." Instead of asking God to reveal to us what He wants to show us or opening our ears to what He has to say.
It actually reminded me of my favorite Bible verse; "I will allure her into the desert place and there I will speak tenderly to her." (Hosea 2:14)
So, I guess my prayer request isn't so much that I find a job or even a community to surround myself with (though I would like to have both). But that I will open my ears and eyes to what God wants to reveal to me as I walk through this desert place.
Thank you in advance for your prayers and words of encouragement. May God bless you abundantly.
