Whats next?

Man, I just got done reading the most awesome blog post. I think it was just posted by my friend Dave on JANUARY 9th... oh wait that was a few Fridays ago..... I sure wish he would give an update. (Sorry Dave, had to get you the message).

Anyways.... so Catie is back to obsessing over my job and stressing over my job. Seriously, when she does this it stresses me out a bunch.

We are looking at different jobs all over the country now; which isn't very fun for us to think about but it is a reality. Since the Thursday night job talk thing Catie and I went to I have felt really unsure of what to do. One thing that did help was I actually forked over all my b-day money to that that super over priced Kolbe test ($65... would have rather used that to do something else). But, that being said it did confirm a lot of things about me and it has a list of 100 job field and talks about how well (or not well) I would do in each one. Unfortunately, there is not a lot out there I am qualified for.... I can't just become a lawyer.

I seriously have no idea what to do... I was "debating" with pastor Ken at church about whether I would just take a job anywhere, away from all family, friends etc and do something I didn't really want to do. He told me, "Its not about whether you like it or not". And I thought "Hell yes it is, if I am moving away from everything I DO like I better like my new job because I can tell you one thing, life at home will not be fun for a little while after we leave". Its not like going and being a pastor somewhere... where you are almost automatically brought in and loved by most people because you are being brought into a community that is supposed to be loving anyways.

A friend of mine emailed me about my last post and he talked about how much money the people that the speaker (from Thurs night) usually tries recruits make.... which is 80-100k. Yeah, I would probably pull up my bootstraps and take off for 80k a year. But lets be realistic here.... unless I am totally missing something.... I am not going to make that.... I will be lucky if I make 40-50k... quite lucky it seems.

So my outlook is not great right now. I need to be in prayer more. I also have noticed that when Catie and I don't do the Bible study thing together we are much more stressed out at each other (and she freaks about jobs more). I just realize the power of spending time together in prayer and God's word. So I should make myself keep doing it even if I don't want to at the time.

So my questions is what should I do? I have no idea.....
