The not so random randomness

It has been a while since my last post...so what's new? Nothing much really...I get up, and I look for a job...well not really:

1. After much consideration, I've decided to teach English Sunday school till June at my church. I've been told that group, the high school kids, are difficult to work with. I am not too sure what to expect nor will I be able to get through to them but I am sure there is a divine reason behind it and that maybe I can't get through but God can.

2. I am a year older...nothing new there, people get older year by year

3. Still looking for a job. The job search is a bit slow. Sometimes, I am wondering if the employers are really that picky or am I doing things wrong. A lot of the companies I've talked to are looking for intermediate ppl, they are people with 10-15 yrs experience and they are hard to find cause there are just not that much around. Until they find the intermediate ppl, they won't hire new grad or juniors since there are no one to mentor them. That's the situation in BC anyway, going to expend my search to Calgary now.

4. The new church search is on hold currently given that I am helping out with the Sunday school but I am still looking for a new fellowship with other recent grads and young professionals.

5. I am still searching for a direction, there are just so many possibilities and not too sure which way the Lord wants me to go. There is also the question of what do I do with the time I have right now.

In the mid of all this, I learn that I need to be more patient. Most companies I talked to is requiring me to wait either because they are busy or looking for Int. ppl or the boss is away. How does one learn patient anyway?

I also learn that I worry too much. I have to constantly remind myself that the Lord will provide every day. I know that I should not have to remind myself if I have completely surrender the control of my life over but it is easier said then done and the danger is you might think you have but really, you have not. So when do you know you have truly hand over control?

In terms of the direction, I don't think I can make any conclusion yet. I mean, you can't just sit there and wait for the direction to come to you, you gota get up and do some work and try and see if it is what the Lord wants for you. In my case, I still think it is too early to say what I am pursuing is not what the Lord wants for me.

I have been told that I should take advantage of the time I have right now. I need to search for a direction and use the time productively, search for a reason why I am given this free time. I am open to suggestions as to what I can do with this time.

I guess those updates are really my prayer requests. I appreciate if you can keep me in your prayers.

Until next time - Johnny
