I lost my job on Thursday. I should’ve seen it coming. I’ve been working basically part time hours for the last 3 weeks because my boss’ work schedule wasn’t very heavy. She informed me on Thursday that they will only need someone part time, and I can’t afford to work part time. I’m meeting with the placement agency that I worked with before on Monday morning to start the process all over again.
The past few days have been filled with feeling embarrassed, ashamed, and downright confused as to where God is leading me. I’m trying not to be angry. Times like these are when I start remembering how different my life is from what I planned on it being. I look around and all of my friends have started families of their own. They have successful careers. I’m almost 26, I have a useless degree (until I get my master’s anyway), single…it’s just hard not to get down on yourself, you know?
Maybe my time in Nashville has come to an end. Maybe I need a change of scenery, at least for a little while. I’m going to start broadening the job search and just getting my resume out there. Who knows? I’m may stay in Nashville, or maybe this is the beginning of a relocation and new chapter for me. Please just keep me in your prayers. I want to do what’s right. It’s easy for me to wait for the “comfortable” thing and take a job here in Nashville. But maybe it’s time for me to do something uncomfortable.

Teri, I hate that you are feeling confused. I’m praying for you that God will direct you to the perfect job…wherever it may be. I love and miss you dearly, friend.

Do something you’ve always wanted to do. Go somewhere you’ve always wanted to go. Now’s your chance.

I’m about a month late on this blog but I agree with Jacob. I’m in the same situation you are (were?) and I’ve moved back home to VA because it was time for a change of pace. LOL and I’m STILL not in a great position and I’ve been home almost a month now. Hmm…
