Hi,


I am just wondering if anyone would love to pray and help me out on something. I am living in a country town and have been ill for many years. I am believing that 2010 is my year of wholeness and for many years I have been well, fragile but good. Anyhow, I am seriously considering applying for city jobs in my trained field and I know the industry I am aiming for is very stressful and even the whole atmosphere of living in the city is a challenge. But I am tired of being skint and not making ends meet and so I am wanting to earn a living and try full time work again.

I guess I am afraid of taking a leap of faith, it has been 2 years since i graduated and 6 years since I got sick. I have never worked for pay in my chosen field but I have had two years experience volunteer. I am thinking of taking the next few months to work on my resume and portfolio, and to pray about which jobs to go for. Alternatley, I have also thought maybe I should stay in the country and wait and be patient and write a novel or something (I want to be a writer).

Not sure which road to take, I think God isn't fussed what I do as long as I love Him but I also want to be wise and make the right decision.

What should I do besides pray and wait?

Hi claire,
Just reading your post the question rises in me: what do you really want? And amen, i think it's great to expect great things regarding your health from God for next year. We know He is ABLE and: good on you to be planning ahead!
But going to the city and living the high stress life as u describe it doesn't sound sensible to me if you're recovering.
Is it possible to pursue your dream of becoming a writer whilst you stay in the town u live in and find a job for 4days a week or something in a field related to what u've had your training in? Just some thoughts. I'll be praying for you!

thankyou , i read your reply a while back but forgot to thankyou.

I believe that I am meant to do something out of my comfort zone and am praying about some things I am planning, hoping it is God's. Will keep you updated.

Blessings,
