For those of you praying for me and my job situation, here is another job possibility you can pray for.
OUTREACH COORDINATOR Healthy Marriage Outreach Coordinator wanted. Solid organizational and interpersonal skills are necessary. Bilingual (English/Spanish) is preferred. At least three years of outreach/ marketing related experience required. Bachelors Degree in a relevant area of study preferred. Computer literacy in MS Word, PowerPoint, Outlook and Excel programs. Strong oral & written skills are imperative. This is a full-time position with a great benefit package. Some travel & overnight trips may be required. Reliable transportation & insurance essential. We need friendly, people oriented applicants.
This job seems to fit right up my areas of expertise. The only thing lacking is possible marketing experience, but I am sure, if they look at my experience elsewhere, this can be compensated for. I do speak a little Spanish, and I am willing to learn more.
I am willing to do whatever God wants me to do, but this job sounds great. Pray that God works miracles with me. Thanks.

On the Clock...
I am now counting down time until my current job comes to an end. Due to budget cuts I will be let go from my current position at the end of the month. 29 days and counting.
Last year at this time I was also job hunting; I had left my position as a teacher and was looking for another type of work closer to home. Last year, I was full of confidence that God was going to find me a good job. I had very little stress about the entire ordeal, and when God found me the job as an Adult Education Teacher, my faith in Him was proven to be true. I gave God the credit for the job and the benefits that came with it.
This year; however, my faith is not as strong. I truly believe that God will find me another job in time to keep my family from suffering financially, but I have not been acting as confident as I was last year. I am suffering anxiety related symptoms, I am agitated easily, I am on the verge of tears at night, and I am becoming very depressed. Where is that confidence in my God that I had last year? I believe in His promises; why can't I find my faith now?
Every job I have applied for, since finding out about this job, has either been filled or they have yet to call me for an interview. The home based travel business (See side panel: Four English Peas Travel), is doing OK, but not enough to replace my income (yet, I hope).
Most Heavenly Father, Help me to find confidence in you like I did last year. Help me to remember that You, O' Lord do not change in your ways. You are always faithful. Help me to overcome my depression and not to believe in the lies of Satan. Forgive me for my unbelief! Your Son, Mark
