First New Blog

Hello again world.

This is my first blog as a married woman.

(For my old blogs, go to: http://beautylikehennaministries.blogspot.com/) 

I haven't blogged in a while, due to the frantic pace of my life recently. In the past two years, I started graduate school, worked two internships, met the love of my life, married him, graduated from graduate school, and am now furiously looking for work in Southern California in Higher Education/Student Affairs/College Administration.

I have a Master of Science in College Counseling and Student Development. And I am having a difficult time obtaining interviews. I've worked full time as a Resident Director, twice. I've worked full time for years, hiring, training, and supervising college students. And yet I am still finding it difficult to get interviews.

Part of the issue is that I need to stay in Southern California.

That's where it seems every other Student Affairs professional in the world wants to work. Every job I apply to gets about one hundred applications.

I am trying as hard as I possibly can to do what I can and trust God that He has my life in His hands and will take care of my needs. I don't know why this is so hard for me, to be honest. God has proven Himself faithful in my life every step of the way. He has blessed me beyond reason in the midst of depression and heartache, when there was no way out that I could see.

Surely, getting my husband and me jobs isn't hard for Him! And yet the fear and defeat continues to fight its way into my thoughts on a daily basis.

Right now, this is my battle - to use my Shield of Faith as a blind to the firey darts of fear that the Enemy continues to shoot my way.

Hopefully, I can blog soon about how God triumphed for me and about the jobs my husband and I now have and love.
