Masterpiece - a little more progress...

[Jer2911]

Good luck tomorrow. Although, I don't think you'll need it if they called you back and want you to come in tomorrow.

Thanks! That's what I'm hoping!

The MLC situation will be what it is until she settles down and starts to focus on herself, her issues and realizes that she wasn't at fault for whatever stunted her emotionally as a young girl. All you can do is pray, stay as positive as you can and keep the focus on you and your children.

That's definitely what I'm trying to do. Getting some positive momentum on the job search is certainly helping with that.

An interesting note about the timing of the job search momentum -- a few months ago, while praying and thinking about my frustration with the job search (and lack of progress), I had a moment of insight where I had this thought that perhaps God was holding off on the job (at that time) so that I could have the free time during the day to focus on myself (my own growth, journey, etc.) and on developing a closer relationship with God. The thought was that getting back into full-time work at that time would prevent me from having the solitude during the day that I very much needed to work on my own issues, pray, mediate, read, learn (about MLC, the LBS journey, depression, faith, prayer, etc.), think, and grow... Well -- for the past few weeks I've definitely started to feel much stronger and MUCH closer to God... And much more focused, centered, and stable (in the sense of being able to continue this progress in me even if I return to work full-time and lose all of the free time that I've had for the past several months)... So very interesting that after reaching a point of being stronger, creating new healthy habits related to my personal growth (journaling, meditating, etc.), developing my faith and spiritual practice, and finally not being afraid of the future -- now the job situation seems to be improving in a huge way.
