It's Been Forever, I Know
So I'm not sure anyone will read this since it's been almost 2 years since I've written anything. Every time I would want to write something, it would usually be negative and something I needed to complain about. So instead I just verbally complained to friends and my poor husband because I didn't want all that negativity out there on the internet. And I have so many friends with great blogs who have cute things to post and happy things to share all the time. I just feel like I don't. I'm sure that's not true, but let's just say I've been going through a dry spell.
This post will not be altogether positive either, but I need prayer, and what better way to share that than here! I don't want to put it on social networks. As an aside while we're talking about social networking, does it bother anyone else that people share huge announcements on social networks only? I mean I can understand if you're having a baby and want to share that, but I would really hope you'd tell those closest to you first and then tell everyone else you don't really keep up with on your social network. I have found out that a few of my extremely close friends were pregnant on FB lately instead of getting a phone call, and that really bothers me. I thought we were close enough to call each other about stuff like this and then I have to find out with the same person they probably haven't talked to in 15 years. It just seems wrong. I hate that our society is going that way, it's just impersonal. But I have to come to terms that the older I get, the fewer close friends I'm going to have. But that's for another blog post.
So I need your prayer. I switched jobs in October from one I had for over 7 years because I just couldn't stay there anymore for many reasons, none of which I will go into because this is the internet after all. Now I am a contractor at another job and am having a very hard time with it. I really don't like it, and most of the job responsibilites are not my strong points. So it's kind of doing a number on my self esteem, for more than one reason. Tie that into the fact that I have dealt with depression and anxiety in parts of my life, and I feel one of those battles heading my way. It's been a while since I've had to deal with that, so I'm not too thrilled. I was hoping we were done with it! So all that to say I need your prayer that God will open my heart to hearing what He has to say about what I should do. I have been looking for other jobs, but nothing yet. And knowing that my dear father has been out of work for about as long as I've had this new job, I can't help but feel ungrateful for what I have. I just keep thinking of him and that he would probably kill to have a job at all, and here I am wanting to leave mine. I am at a loss and need some guidance! I appreciate your prayers.
On a lighter note, Eric and I are going to Mexico in a few weeks to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary! I can't believe it's been 5 years already and it has been wonderful! Looking forward to many, many more! I will hopefully get some pictures on here from our trip. Hope anyone reading this is doing well!
