My sweetie had a telephone interview today. That is probably part of the reason my brain won't relax and sleep. I'm so excited for him. I'm dying to know what the end result will be, come July or August. The college wants someone to start Aug 15th, so there is a deadline in sight. Of course I know he would be a wonderful asset to the college, but one of these colleges needs to figure that out.
My prayer is that the Lord would open or close the door. As much as we (he) want a job, we want it to be the right step and we want to go to the right place. We have a good church here and our families. Lots of reasons not to leave home. But sometimes you gotta go out on that limb and try something new. Our families wouldn't be too far away if he gets the job at the college that called today. I would hope we could find a good, Bible teaching church there. Probably so. I would hope that there would be some sort of job for me there. It's a small community, but there are probably options for someone with my skill sets.
I'm so frustrated lately that no weight is coming off. I've been in a total funk. And then I've been sabotaging myself. Running alone is not enough to lose the pounds; I really, really need to watch what I eat. And this is a source of irritation. On the bright side, I ran 7.5 miles Sunday. It wasn't as pleasant as the 6 miles the week before. It was a long haul, but I finished. This week should be "easier" again. I'm aiming for 8.5-9 this weekend. I do believe I am on track for the race. So far, my knees and my back are holding their own. I know it would be better if I could lose 10-15 lbs, but it's just not budging right now. Bleh.
Part of the food problem may be the stress problem. It feels like there is so much stress right now. I have stress with work (my focus the past 2 days has been figuring out how to move our database into a new database program, and with that came the realization of the part of the work can't be done automatically and will need to be manually/individually completed. And with that type of job we are bound to have mistakes! What is the best way to prevent that?!). And I have concerns weighing on me for some dear friends who are in bad situations. I'm not going to air anyone else's dirty laundry here, but let me assure anyone who reads this rambling that they are serious situations. Lives hang in the balance.
I was supposed to have lunch with a friend today, but that was postponed. I'm really disappointed because I have a Bible question, and this friend is good at answering Bible questions. I was reading in Ezekiel 13. Go down to verse 18, and it says, "Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls!" Go ahead and read the rest of the verse or even the rest of the chapter. What in the world is this about sewing pillows to armholes? Are they installing shoulder pads in their garments? Something more sinister? I totally don't get it. Obviously they are doing something displeasing to God, but I don't get it. One of those things I'll just have to ponder for a while, I guess.
Maybe I'll try to get a little sleep now. LOL
