Halfway There

I received some disappointing news this past Saturday. A letter arrived in the mail notifying me that a job I had interviewed for was offered to someone else. Needless to say, my weekend was a bit of a "downer." I was really excited for this job and felt I was well-qualified for the position. Now, I seem to be back to square one. At least I'm halfway to my goal. I'm loving my new job at Kingdom Kids and just knowing I get to spend my afternoons there makes heading to work in the mornings more bearable. I don't have much for leads for another part-time job to replace my morning job. In my eagerness to be moving on, I've wondered if should just take some random job that I'm not really excited about. I can't help feeling, in my heart, that it's time to be done with work for which I have no passion. I've watched people who have stayed in jobs for decades - jobs they hate - and are completely miserable. That's not for me. Mind you, I'm not looking for some glamorous job that pays $25 an hour (although that would be nice...smile). I simply want to work in an environment that fosters spiritual growth and allows me to openly pursue the passions that are close to my heart.

I keep coming back to the whole doula thing. I'd love to provide support for women in labor and, in so doing, contribute to the pro-life cause that is so important to me. I haven't the slightest idea what all goes into running a business and building clientel. And I can't expect to have enough clients right off the bat to provide the financial support I would need. I'd appreciate your prayer about this...and I'll keep you posted.

Perhaps you need to raise your expectations! We serve a God that knows enough people that He can provide more clientel than you could handle!!!!! Go for it, girl!! It's gonna work out just fine!!
