Learning to be patient and appreciating the things I have

Good morning! Hope everyone's week went well. Mine wasn't that bad, but let me recap on what's been going on.

In November I got a phone call for an interview to work at an arts and craft store, which was surprising because for two years I've had a difficult time getting a job, or at least going in for an interview. I went in for the interview and they wanted me to come in, the next day, for the orientation. I got the job a week before Thanksgiving, so it's been a learning experience. Started off as a temp job, but earlier this month I was told that they wanted to keep me, so I was happy when they told me that.

I've always pictured myself working a Monday-Friday, 9-5 kind of job, but things can't always go our way. I know that God has blessed me in so many different ways and from not having a job for two years, to now having this little part-time job is amazing. At the same time it drives me crazy, because for four years I always said that I DID NOT want to go back to retail. Everything from the crazy hours to being called in on your days off was and still is something that I don't like. But I'm trying to see it like this: I have a job. It's not permanent, I'm still going to keep looking for a full-time job, but for now I have a job and it's paying the bills. I'm not stressing out and having migraines every day like I was a year ago. So that's a good thing! : )

On top of top, my fiance and I have been going to church together and also doing bible study. So I think that's something that has helped me a lot, especially when it comes to being patient and being positive, but most importantly, not losing faith. So I'm looking forward to being more involved with this church.

Now I'm going to relax, maybe finish crocheting my infinity scarf, before going to work today. I hope you guys are having a fun Saturday...take care!
