Roller Coaster Day

The question is... do I live on a Roller Coaster or AM I a Roller Coaster?

Before I wrote the other post for today I was very upset. I really was. But as soon as I posted that I calmed down!!! Actually I've done this sort of thing before - I shouldn't be surprised.

I just went about my business doing the stuff I'm doing - not feeling really hopeful but reminding myself that it's too early maybe for all the possible results from Friday's work and to just keep pressing on.

One of the things I did this morning was to press the issue with one of the Staffing Agencies. I had noticed on Career Builder that they seemed to have a number of jobs in the downtown Dallas area. This was a couple of weeks ago and I had called them - twice - and received no call back. Another time and no one was available. So maybe I don't want to try to work with them. But I was looking at their job stuff again and decided to try again. Called left a msg - no call back. Called asked for a manager and at least ended up with the person who was supposed to call me back. She gave me some helpful instructions and I just got a call from a very friendly, helpful person and now I have an appointment with this person AND another tomorrow. Yippee! And I just thought about this - she said this was her first day back from maternity leave. Could there be something of God's timing here? I'll let you know.

OK - boring details I know, but for me it's an important part of my journey to not only recognize such emotional reactions but to respond differently than I have in the past.

Sigh

Well, I definitely feel better now. I'm all hopeful again.

    This is in Psalms--it's to late for me to find it but the scripture popped into my brain as I read your post. Love you and I know God has a wonderful plan for you. Enjoy the time you have before you begin working. Cherish each day. Count your blessings as you go about the day, for they are numerous!
