I started my job today at a retail store in the tourist district of Pinellas county on the beach.
As I started this adventure 3 weeks ago, I stated that I took a leap of faith. I moved without a job and prayed daily that God would open and close the right doors.
My initial interviews were the result of carefully prepared exact resumes which basically disqualified me for most jobs.
What I learned through this process of job hunting is that often times we overlook the things that actually bring us passion in exchange for higher wages.
I started the day very nervous and within an hour it was as if I had already been there a year. There may also be work across the street at one of the hotels to work another small part-time job at the front desk.
God closed all of my finance jobs and gave me a job which I know will bring me joy. It did today! Guess He really does know best!

Personality and pushing yourself out of the box

I know so many people including myself that struggle with exuberating an outgoing personality in real life. Building confidance in areas outside of the box promotes growth in ones self. I have a tendancy to feel introverted in real life so I am making an effort daily to smile, look people in the eye and show more of a caring attitude for others.
The reason I am doing this is because I want to be more outgoing. Those that know me think I am already outgoing, but what I am referring to here is that natural happy outgoing demeanor. The demeanor that one would look at me and say "She must be a christian."
You too can make this choice if you have the same feelings about yourself, then we can share our success stories here and grow together. It's time we start believing in ourselves and exuberating Christ love as our witness.

It hurts my feelings when people don't do what they say they will do. Does anyone feel the same? What does ones word really mean? Is it because people are so caught up in their own world that they forget? If I have ever done this to anyone, I am sorry.

Changing our perspective in life

The message at church last night was about changing our perspective and letting Jesus take our troubles of this world and giving them back to him to handle. His grand plan is much larger than our tiny problems. I think this is one of the hardest concepts for anyone to grasp because we love to worry about everything. Right? So I was thinking of a way to do this and an old email surfaced that I had received which I would like to share:
Enjoy!
I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first day on the job, a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit, and his ancient one ton truck refused to start.
While I drove him home, he sat in stone silence. On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.
When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small and gave his wife a kiss. Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. "Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the . So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again. Funny thing is," he said with a smile, "when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."
We all need a tree and Jesus!

Tomorrow I go for an interview at 3:00 for an accounting position at a major Hotel resort. My position will be the night auditor. I know I am well qualified so I ask your sincere concentrated prayers during this time period.
God does work miracles.
Blessings my friends,
Sheri

When decisions must be made - Pray

For those of you whose final hurdle is this trust factor -- He said, just move to action, just do something, anything and I will guide you....
You simply have to do what Peter did when he stepped out of the boat to start walking on water. You must take a big leap of faith and dive off of that cliff and now fully follow His Holy Spirit in the direction that He will want to take your life in.
It has been an interesting week of faith for sure. Guess my faith was weak...cause He prooved me wrong.
Learning to really trust God in the way that He wants you to fully trust Him is all-or-nothing. When is the last time you took a leap of faith that involved risk? Did God deliver his promises?

Can I rant and perhaps get some resume advice?

I have the qualifications of 20 years in financial management of mortgage companies which also include human resources, budgeting, AP/AR, employee hiring, loan processing and funding and...on and on. I am over qualified for the positions that require just a high school diploma and a few years experience, but that is where the jobs seem to be at.
Yet, when I look at jobs that meet my qualifications including my accounting degree, I am overwhelmed with the requirements. I am not a CPA nor can I balance a companies financial. So where does that put me. Mid-management? I did not want to have to go back to school for a Masters degree at this late stage in life. Perhaps my career path took more of a financial marketing and sales direction than a CPA direction. Yet, I don't like sales. I am a great manager of a group of people though.
I just don't think I should dummy my resume down to a Clerk II position making 25K a year when I was around 80K before I got sick in the last three years. My health is fine now for those that have followed my blogs. Perhaps, I should start studying and get my CPA designation. But, I am not sure that is what I want either? Confusing...
Money is not the issue because I am debt free except for my housing, gas, insurance and electric expenses. The more I think about it, I think the ideal job would be a district sales manager position in the mortgage industry.
Please continue to keep me in your prayers as I tweak my resume yet another time. If anyone has an ideas or leads, please let me know as I may be willing to relocate. Should I seek a job head-hunters advice as well?
