A hard door to walk through
It's been awhile! I'm been so busy with work and school online, the girls schedule and being involved with church!
I wanted to post about being fired for no apparent reason today. Not to complain or to gossip, but to tell you how I'm really feeling.
The guy I have been working for is somewhat similar to a person that I worked for at another job. R is an entrepreneur, he owns the company and is the back bone of the business. I enjoyed working for him at the beginning, but I was definitely way over qualified to be in the 2 roles that I worked.
Once on started seeing with my own eyes the type of person that he is, I took 30 days to let things straighten out and to make sure I was making a rational decision to move forward and find another job. Those were some difficult days. I begged and pleaded with God to make something happen. But what He did was give me the strength to go back each day and face them one at a time.
There was a day that I left the office so completely frustrated and just pouring my heart and emotions out to God. As I was driving, I looked up and saw the biggest rainbow. It extended for miles and it was so close to the earth. That was my sign from God, saying " Jennifer, I have a plan for you and I'm here for you."
One thing that I have learned is that even though I trust God's plan for me, I need to also rely on His timing, not mine.
So it comes down to today. I prayed this morning that the Lord would take me away from all of this, that he would rescue me. And low and behold, being fired was not what I had in mind!
I'm free from it now, with no job and all the time in the world. But I know that He has an amazing plan for me, and it won't be on my time schedule. So, I'm praying now for patience, peace and serenity about this entire situation.

Hey,
Like I told you before. My office is hiring for our Lombard office right now if you're interested. It'd be in sales, but it would be for internet advertising and phone book advertising if you're interested.
Accepting Gods time is one of the hardest things I've had to come to terms with. I hope you are having fun spending some quality time with your girls while you can! I hope the perfect job comes along soon!
