Balance

So ...I've been thinking and there are some goals that I want to meet.  The most pressing I think is finding a work/life balance.  My part-time job is turning out to be more like full time and my energy has been so low that I am finding that having time for recreational activities and online activities is hard to do.

I need to get  back into church and make friends, and do some other things to balance the work stresses.

I have a job

So I started a new job last week, actually on the 19th, working as a front desk clerk at a local hotel.  Pays minimum wage, but it is a job....supposed to be part-time.  However the assistant manager asked me if I would be willing to go full-time, and mentioned that I would probably end up going full-time.

I have been in training.  However when I go back to work I will be on my own, and not in training.  Hospitality is a new career field for me.  I've done customer service before, but not hospitality.  I am learning the system of menus and screens on the computer and in my spare time I get to fold laundry.

Really liking my new boss and the assistant manager.  Both are really easy to get along with and talk to.  For the next scheduled week I am actually getting 40 hours, and the following week 32.  So it looks promising.

Still Looking

Still looking for a real job and to get out of the job training.  Had many promising opportunities, but no one willing to give me the chance that I have been waiting for.  Yet I know that God has a plan and I just have to wait on his timing.

Waiting is hard, and I'm not patient, especially with changes on the front at the job training facility...and my time running out soon.

Getting in Sync

So I was reading today and I came across these words "I couldn't go on feeling out of sync with my own heart". 

These simple words echo the cry of my heart.  I can't go on working dead end jobs that mean nothing and go nowhere.  I want to help people, but I don't know how to help people when struggling with my own depression and mental illness.

I have the chance right now at a new job, doing something that I have never done.  I am excited that I might get the job, yet I am also nervous, and a little scared that it would be more than I could handle.  But I feel like this could be just the opportunity that I have been waiting for.
