So I really wanted to post, but when I looked back on my last two days I haven't accomplished a whole heck of a lot. I have done the usual which consists of:
- packing my and the hubby's lunches
- making the bed
- doing the dishes
- tidying up the living room every morning after Paul and I left snack wrappers and bowls everywhere
Tomorrow I have a ton of phone calls I need to make, a ton meaning like 3 but they are ones I am dreading so it seems like 20.
- The insurance because they screwed up the billing on my bloodwork.
- The doctor to check on the hubby's bloodwork, which we had done to lower our insurance
- and the car insurance to see if they have finally changed my last name so we can pay our bill.
Oh, and the saying at the top of my post, well here is a little thing not all you girls may know about me. I just graduated nursing school in May and have been looking for a job since then (more actively after the wedding in July) and have not been able to find openings anywhere. Well there are openings, just they want people with experience. I am about to start applying to nursing homes, but am dreading it. I know God has a plan, and I just keep my trust in him. Me not having a full time job right after the wedding has allowed for Paul and I to go on some awesome mini vacations, and spend more time together than would have ever been possible if I had a job (since mine will probably be night shift and I will never get to see him). So there is my story, I spent 4 years in school and this economy is making it so I can't get a job. But there are so many positives coming out of the experience as well ( I have drawn closer to God, I get my hubby way more, I have energy to do housework and cook meals every night, and so on. )
God has a plan.
Angela! Sometimes the bare minimum is just what happens. Yesterday Joe and I were talking about what we had gotten done, and I was like "I made us breakfast...I made us lunch..." and he was like "but those are things you HAVE to do" and I thought "humph, I could list those as accomplishments on our blog and no one would judge me!" Sometimes the normal things take as much effort as the big things!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have the right attitude about it! It is AMAZING how God has worked out the past year (well, really my whole life, but especially in the last couple of years). With Shea being born, jobs, ministry - EVERYTHING has just fallen into place perfectly. Even now, as I am back to work part-time, God moved my dad to work out here near us, so my mom can come and babysit twice a week! Look at the little things and wait. That extra time with your husband you've had now will really be worth so much later on when you are employed and 10x busier :)
ReplyDeleteAmber- I agree, the "have to's" still take planning and effort. I would never make fun of you for them, a lot of days they are the only thing I accomplish!
ReplyDeleteBecca- It is so encouraging to hear God working in other people's lives, and things falling into place perfectly. God always has a plan, whether we see it right away or not, He is so amazing. I am cherishing this time with my husband and just know God is giving me a precious gift by not giving me a full time job yet.
