I went to a presentation and interview with Radio Shack on Friday. I was so excited about that job, but now, I don't think I want it even if they offer it to me, which is doubtful. I think I just don't belong in a cut-throat, competitive company driven only by the profit of the shareholders. I realize that's the business world, but I am beginning to think I don't belong in that world. Plus, they want me to work all holidays without ever getting any off. Ever.
So I asked for prayer in church this weekend about the job situation. After the service, one of the members, a prominant lawyer in the community, told me to drop a resume by his office this week. That sounded good! I've always wanted to work in a law office. I finished up my resume this morning, and will bring it by tomorrow.
I don't know if I'll get that job or not, but I think I'd like it a lot better than anything else I've applied for so far. I still don't know where God is taking me or what kind of job I'll end up with, but I feel like I'm getting closer. He's got something for me. I just have to wait on His timing.

I might be a little biased, but I think you should create your own web site with content-relevant advertising. Maybe something about women's ministry, or better yet, a good web site that encourages people serving in ministry?
Love, Steve
Please support my sponsors! They help cover the costs of running this web site!
Yeah, that sounds more along your avenue, Alayne. :)

It IS hard working in retail,or basically ANY sales position, epsecially if you don't like to CONVINCE people to BUY STUFF they DON'T need.
Though I will have to say that I think it's hard at ANY job you have, no matter WHAT it is...even if it's at HOME (Steve). There are always going to be pros and cons, benefits and losses, and pressure and stress. But it's a good challenge to learn how to handle those things...it makes you really have to depend on God more as the heat rises. THOUGH...everyone is made a little differently and you have to find what you like...sometimes that's worth more than MONEY. It's all in what your current priorities and gifts are. But most of all....GOD's WILL!
I'm still keeping my eyes peeled for something else, myself. Don't have enough hours at my clothing store job to keep going more than a couple more weeks.
Alrighty, I gots to go.
Praying for you, Lanie!

I mean it's Wednesday already! Maybe I'm just feeling rushed because it's MY bills that are waiting for a paycheck.
I'm going to fax my resume to another lawyer's office today that I saw advertising in the classifieds for a secretary. I'm trying to decide whether to include a cover letter even though the ad didn't ask for one. I'm good at resumes, but not cover letters particularly.
Girl, its going to be okay! I understand totally though....

When the pressure gets tough, we always say "Hey, God, remember me???" But it's okay, just trust HIM more....have a knowing that HE KNOWS and cares for us SO MUCH that He will provide what you need!
I would send the cover letter also, even if they haven't asked for it! There are alot of places online that can help you write one!
I am still praying for you and know that YOU WILL have the PERFECT job!!!
Love ya lots Alayne and want the best for you!!

I got out an old one I had written a couple years ago for another job and modified it to fit this one. Hopefully, they will consider it and give me an interview.
I know Rhonda . . . all in God's time. I'm just beginning to wonder if He's forgotten about me, even though I know He hasn't.
*hug* praying that this will draw you even closer to Him

"All Of The Words"
How do I speak of the indescribable to You
I will try to explain these feelings that are true
So looking to the sky I will sing and from my heart to You I bring
All of the words in all of my life that could never explain and never describe
All of my love, which is nothing to hide so I lift up my hands and I worship
I worship You
In your presence I forever choose to live
I will praise You for it's all I have to give
So looking to the sky I will sing and from my heart to You I bring
All of the words in all of my life that could never explain and never describe
All of my love, which is nothing to hide so I lift up my hands and I worship
By Your grace You let me come talk to You
It's not that I'm worthy I thank you Jesus
For the love that You have shown
All of the words in all of my life that could never explain and never describe
All of my love, which is nothing to hide so I lift up my hands and I worship
With all of the words in all of my life that could never explain and never describe
All of my love, which is nothing to hide so I lift up my hands and I worship
I worship You
Alayne, at least you got a cute outfit out of trying to get this job, if nothing else!
Don't worry...no matter what happens...even if you get behind on bills for a while, God will still be there...and though you're tested by fire through this...it's going to be okay. If worst comes to worst, you can always visit a Christian financial consultant. There's an awesome one named Roger Clement (Clement Financial Services) who lives here in Rogers (?), I think. I've heard WONDERFUL things about him, and I believe that he helped someone in my family at some point (I can't remember who and what), because I think we still get newsletters from him personally, Christmas cards, etc. He doesn't charge for the consultations, which is cool...it's a MINISTRY to other people. He might be able to help you guys find some solutions that can help you get by with what Daniel is making right now, I don't know. All I know is, if it comes down to it, it's worth trying out.
