Today's prayers to overcome my weakness!

I have been very lucky to have been blessed with careers that I have enjoyed and employers who have been family to me in the past. Part of the reason I ended up staying in Washington DC for over 5 years was because of how much I loved my job and my previous employer Tracy. Tracy was not only a mentor but also a friend. She guided me through my career and my life and made bidding America goodbye very hard.  With my role prior to getting pregnant with Noah, I also had the opportunity to work with a fantastic team led by Stuart who encouraged me amongst the unknown and paved the way for my success in the role. 

Getting jobs within these two companies were a bit random given that I had no experience within either industries prior to joining them. Tracy hired me simply because we shared the same birthday (yes, I used to include my DOB on my CV) and Stu passed on me the first time he met me (yes, I was the second choice!). It does not really matter how I started with them but to me, what matters the most is that I was given a break.

I started the process of job hunting a couple of weeks ago. I thought I would test the waters out, given I have already completed my online course. I have the time to spare especially during the days when Noah is at daycare. Besides, we have daycare sorted for the children from January 2013 so all I needed now is work to embark on. 

I am not sure why but for some reason, I am being very impatient with the results. I am so ready to begin the next chapter of the Beautiful Life Jo but I am being made to wait. Despite knowing that God is working on something special, the human in me wants answers now. Luckily Tim is being my voice of reason as he reminds of what I already know - that I should enjoy this time now as once the craziness of life as a working Mum start, I am going to miss my time with the children and being at home. I also need to be reminded that God continues to bless me with far more than I could pray for; I just need to trust!

To overcome my weakness, I have been saying extra prayers of late and have been asking my prayer warriors to say an extra prayer (or two) for me. Today, I want to share my prayers with you as I lift this up to God and to the universe.

Today, I pray for the randomness. I am praying for God to lead someone to take a gamble on me. See, at present I am convinced that I want to bring my expertise to an industry where I have no experience in. Again, I am hoping for that break. Take a chance and give me a break and I will show you what I can do. I will ensure that you don't have any regrets!

Today, I also pray for greater patience. I know that God is already working on the best job for me, considering my family especially the children and our finances. However, I need to constantly remind myself that answers are not immediate. I need to constantly remind myself (and with Tim's help) to just enjoy where I am right now as once the new chapter starts, there is no turning back.

Dear Lord, this is your story, your painting, your work! You have blessed me with so much more than I imagined for myself and I truly know that You continue to answer my prayers and know what is best for me.  Please erase any doubts in my mind, but instead replace it with greater faith. Greater faith that in Your time, all will be revealed. Thank you.
