For the last couple of days, Jared's job hunt has hit a wall. No new job postings. No new contacts. He's made contact with everyone that he can again. And now, it's just a waiting game. With all of his job searching, he hasn't been at a point of just sit and wait until now. They tell you that you shouldn't just sit and wait, but what about when that's just what is left? What if God wants you to learn patience now?
Needless to say, that seems to be where we are at. I still have a lot of hope for the last job that he applied for that he would really like. They haven't even made it to interviewing for that position yet though. They are quickly trying to fill another position first (Nice having someone on the inside that can give you info). Jared on the other hand, is or was feeling hopeless yesterday. I'm hoping today he feels better. This morning he went to the temple with a friend. I'm hoping that will help bring him some comfort. I was also feeling a lot of discouragement last night. And even early this morning. However, shortly after I got up and going, I started to feel a quiet peace rest on me. The worry left my mind...nothing big or amazing. It was just a moment of 'oh, I haven't worried about that in awhile now'. Not only am I feeling emotionally calm, my body is feeling calm too. Sometimes, getting the psychical symptoms of anxiety to stop is harder for me that anything! The sense of urgency has passed, for now at least. I hope Jared gets to experience the same today. I've been praying for him to feel the comfort that he needs.
What do you do when you've done all you can? You wait. You have patience. You have faith that God will take care of the rest. You wonder how long 'long suffering' means. You wonder what else God wants you to do. And then, you just live your life the best you can. So that's where we are now.
