For this is God's Will
Okay, so the interview this morning didn't quite work out. The recruiter was great and very upfront which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the position required weekend work...again. So maybe I should be more thankful for the position I do have. I don't work weekends right now. Maybe the early hours aren't so bad...no...it's hurting my family so I must press on! I feel so strongly that God wants me to look elsewhere for better hours so I can make my family life better. It's just going to be harder than I thought. As a matter of fact, I submitted inquiries to 2 more companies just this morning. I even went so far as to call Baptist in Little Rock to see if they offered at home positions in the transcription department, and of course they're all in-house. So now I have this new laptop, this state of the art top of the line foot pedal with top of the line software that didn't come here for free and I have yet to find a way to get our money back out of it. I know, I know...it's only been a few days and it's not meant to be easy, so I need to just chill out and take my time. It's gonna happen, I know it. The key is to just be quiet, continue to pray for God's direction, and let HIM do the scheduling. I get it. This is something I know to be true, but I'm a measly human being who expects ON DEMAND answers, right? [you can laugh out loud here if you want].
In this journey I've even tested for jobs typing documentaries and interviews, something I thought I'd LOVE to do. Well let me tell you this much...it ain't easy, even with a foot pedal. Lots of [ and ] and time stamping and Google looking...a lot harder than I thought. And seeing as how I haven't heard back from any of them yet, I'm guessing I didn't format like they wanted. Oh, well. I can chalk that up to a learning experience, one that was fun.
My next thought if I have another no-go or just feel like God is leading me that way is to possibly place an ad in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette or Searcy's Daily Citizen. I even thought about going back to my days (late 1990's) of soliciting local doctor's offices for work. I was fortunate enough to have 2 clinics I typed for at home back in the late 90's. It was fun, but the going back and forth every day to pick up tapes and drop off (which no one uses tapes anymore and with my awesome equipment I can accept just about any voice file via the Internet) got to be too much and that was when gas was CHEAP...but, it's an option.
And lastly, I am very much considering applying for a teacher's aid position here in Searcy in case one opens up next year when Ruthie Belle starts school. I can maybe find prn work during the summer to get my money out of this equipment. Oh, well. The options are endless. I just need to let God direct me to the best route.
Thankfully, I am remaining positive. My first instinct was to shed a few tears knowing I'm locked in the crazy hours I'm working, but I quickly found a verse my friend Dayna put on Facebook to shake me out of it...Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thess 5:16-18). Exactly!
