I think I can safely say that this has been a rough week. I had applied for two positions at STJ and found out the status of them both this week.
The first was the same job I have now, just one level up. My management had asked me to apply for it and then ended up offering it to someone else. Pretty much a slap in the face to me. I guess they were comfortable taking the risk since the job market is bad, and they think I'll stick around and suck it up.
The second was for a job in marketing which would be very different from what I'm doing now. More creative, strategic, etc. I did awesome on the interview, but got a call from HR today saying the position would not be filled.
So now I'm back at square one. I just wish God would show me what I'm meant to do. Maybe He's trying, but I'm not getting it. Back to the job hunt again. I can't keep doing a job I hate for people I don't respect anymore.

I know it's hard when that feeling starts to develop about work. Trust me, I've been there. Something that helped me some days was to make a point each morning to wake up and pray thankfulness about my job "thank you Lord for providing me with fulltime employment", "thank you God for providing a paycheck for our family", "thank you God..." - you get the drift. I was convicted about that when dr. Ernie shared with us in Nov that discontentment cannot reside with thanksgiving... When we're in a spirit of thankfulness it's harder to be discontent. It helped a lot some days. I'll be praying, my friend! Know it's hard!!!
