I know this is sort of a very high school prayer topic, but for me it's kinda close to my heart.

So with me being my dad's caregiver, that's my job. It has no pay, but I could care less. Now when that job ends, hopefully meaning my dad goes into remission, I have to be able to get a job to support myself. Thing is...so far, only people with hourly part time jobs have sought me out. None of them really a long time career I can have for decades like my parents have.

I feel like if I had a long term, stable, work-from-home career, I could relieve a little bit of worry my dad has about me being on my own.

I want him to not have to worry about me. Or possibly me and my future husband, if it is indeed who I hope and pray that's gonna be. Especially if we happen to get married sooner than later.

A "long-term" career is nice, but that is more the attitude of the worker than the employer. Since you may not be that kind of a person, then the alternative is to learn how to sniff out opportunities with each new morning. You may never find a permanent job you feel you want to stay in, but that does not mean plenty of money is not still out there waiting for you to ferret out each new pot of it as you tire of the last one.

God has you safe. I pray that God has your future just where He wants you to be. :)

BELIEVE ME. If I could find a good art related career like a concept artist, greeting card maker, graphic designer, etc, with good benefits and good pay, I would stay there as long as possible.

as Willie has expressed, 'one day at a time, sweet Jesus', - you have the gift,
just learn to wait on The Lord, He won't let you down, if you obey Him...

One thing too I think is visibility. People knowing my art is a big thing, even if I'm not "popular" but known for my work that's a big plus.

Father God you know,Artsie steph's,desires and her needs,please guide her to a job that suits her and that she will like and not just get for a source of income,in every "steady" job one must compromise that not all about the job will be exactly what one wants,but at the very least a decent and endurable job,in Jesus's holy name I humbly pray,AMEN.

Thanks man. And yeah I've been looking at Craigslist, indeed, and LinkedIn so far... honestly I'm worried about not looking, but maybe I should chill for now. I seem to be too concerned about money right now...

========================================
when I worked as an 'artist', I wouldn't say that I was ever popular,
but I did have a 'special-cliental' that made me a lot of income at that time
of my life...and even though I wasn't properly serving our Heavenly Father,
He surely did take care of me, He always opened a path for me to choose from...
