I have moved into my very first house. I LOVE it! It is a beautiful house in the area I love. My street is great and I am thinking I will need to put up more Christmas lights. I have enjoyed settling into my home and love having people over.
I moved in after my last day at my job. What a crazy transition to make in life. The time off work has been healing. I may finally be rested and relaxed. I am not worried about work. I will get a job easily enough. I may have one lined up early into next year. I was beginning to worry a bit about the time between then. A dear friend suggested my name to a local community group as a possible candidate for a part time position they have for five months. One of the women phoned asking for my resume. I sent it in and did not hear a thing. Today the other woman hiring for the position phoned me and I have my interview tomorrow. I have not had an interview for a while. It will be interesting. I am not worried. I know who I am. I know what I believe. I know what I can do.
I have also recently heard from the West End Biz. They have their AGM next week. I have had a great relationship with the Biz in my time working in the West End. They do a lot to improve the area for business. They wanted to let me know they were going to give me the 'Community Star Award'. I had tears from hearing that. I do not do what I do for recognition. That is a good thing because I am often not recognised (that is a good thing I think) for what I do. It also helped heal some of the hurt from the way I was let go of my previous job.
So a lot can change rather quickly. Never doubt. Never wonder if your life will ever be better than it is. Remain true. Remain strong. Remain faithful. Maintain integrity. Be honest. Be caring. Be loving. Be forgiving. Because God never ceases. And when we live lives of worth, anything can happen.

Another red-head said something similar upon losing his job....

You are an inspiration, Belinda! What a great attitude. Looking forward to seeing what the LORD brings to you. I know from my own last couple of years that His ways and His timing is perfect!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award. If anyone deserves it, it truly is you. Miss you!
