So, I have found that there are many things that I must do as I live on my own now, that were much easier when I had someone else taking care of them. First off, I have had several spiders...I hate spiders, yet I have been killing them :) Second, my toilet was not working well today and I can't figure why. But, being the handi-dandy girl that I am becoming, I fixed it myself! WooHoo! I'm so impressed with my mad skills right now ;) haha. I guess these are things that the average person knows how to do, but when you haven't really learned to do it before, you get excited about the little things in life :)
Today I applied for several jobs at North Park University and a job with Chicago Youth Center. I also went into a Starbucks about 20 minutes away and asked for a transfer. I was hoping not to have to do so, but a job is better than no job. I also went to a small Christian academy to see if they had any jobs available but they were currently staffed and also wanted me to be a member at their church, which isn't really an option at this point, but it was worth the effort. Last but not least I applied for a position with Chase (the Bank).
My plan for tomorrow is to drive into Chicago to one of the YMCA's that I applied to and see if the job has been filled or not. I may stop by another one for the same reason on the way home, but I just don't want to push my car too much since the "check engine" light is on. Then I think on Thursday, I will go down to Pui Tak Christian School and see what it looks like. Pui Tak is the school that I have a second interview with on Tuesday the 16th. I am excited about it, but I don't want to put all my marbles in that basket in case I do not get the position. After that, I think I'll head down to the Chicago Farmers Market and maybe see if I can find anything downtown that would be a good job. I will then, Lor willingly on this all, of course, go to get my car looked at by a friend of a friend. It should be nice. He and His wife invited me over for coffee and dessert :)
I'm a little overwhelmed at all of this, knowing I have to be out of this apartment in about 15 days and need a job so I can do so. I know the Lord will provide so I just need to remind myself that and remember His Hesed. I've been reading Ruth over and over lately so as to remind myself of God's love in providing Ruth a kinsman redeemer. Because of her faith and willingness to not give up, she was given Boaz and from them came the line of Christ. What may have seemed like a lost hope, God took and used it to show how he was faithful and would provide for Ruth and Naomi's (or Mara as she wish to be called) needs and even provide a man for Ruth so that the birth line for Savior could still continue. What a true test of this woman's faith that the Lord would provide. I pray that I too can have faith like Ruth and trust in the Lord' provision over my measly life. Grace and Peace
