On We Go

Have I told you that I am currently jobless? I'm going on week 4 of unemployment after Harambee. Each week has started with a very distinctive feeling on Monday that has carried through the entire week. The first week was VACATION! Of course there was a small undercurrent of anxiety only because it was so strange to go from working so hard everyday to then relaxing. Nonetheless, that week was highly enjoyable. Week two I was in power mode. I knew if I just diddled around home I would drive myself insane, so I planned something everyday and was always on the hunt for a job. Week three? An absolute crash and burn in the beginning. I didn't take the time to plan anything so when Monday came without a job and without a specified activity, all hell broke loose and the wrestle began. Over the course of the week I spent some quality time on my knees, sobbing, trying to understand the mind of my Savior when I wasn't in my bed weeping over His infinitness. I wholly related to David in Psalms when he says that my tears were my food both day and night. As the week marched on, as time always does, I became a little less "why" focused and a little more "what now".

So it's Monday of week 4 and I'm feeling a little take the bull by the horns attitude stirring. I'm also pretty infatuated with the coming Autumn season and wanting to clean away the mess that summer left on my home and do a little crafting to welcome my new love. So, here's to a positive, productive, cleaning and crafting week! Hope yours is as filled with excitement as mine is sure to be!
