Well, it has now been a year since I learned that my job at FBC-Dalton was being eliminated; in my last post I indicated that the contract position I took with Knowledge Services as an Administrative Assistant was expected to go permanent. Unfortunately, it ended up that a lady who had also applied for the secretary position posted through the state was eventually hired; she had retired from another state position, but decided to re-enter the workforce and was familiar with the state's payment system, which I made clear in my interview that I would be willing to learn. The manager also said he wished he could get me onto the state payroll somehow, but they didn't have the money to hire both a clerk and a secretary like they thought. So, after only 5 weeks, I was back to square one, filling out online applications, then waiting to hear from them. I have been able to get back on the local schools' substitute list, which has kept me fairly busy while letting me catch up on doctor appointments, etc. and schedule interviews; I actually had 3 more this past week, and I'm back to praying that something works out soon which will allow me to fully support myself again.
In my heart I know that God will eventually bring this season of searching for permanent full-time employment to an end in His timing, but I have grown so physically and emotionally weary from the stress and uncertainty that being ready and trusting in Him completely is really all I can do until that time comes.
