The Long Transition

It seems so much is still up in the air. No word on jobs as of yet. I'm now in plan B mode... find a job in Lincoln. Yes, it seems with the way things are going, Courtney and I will be in Lincoln for at least the next year. In some ways I'm a bit disappointed that the opportunities I have been pursuing out East have not yet moved anywhere, but on the other hand, I can see so many reasons why God would have us be here in Lincoln instead--our great church, closeness to family, friends, etc. All of these things could be helpful in our transition to being a married couple as well I think. Still, what that means for jobs is a bit uncertain. In all likelihood, it may mean working at the bank again and doing volunteer research stuff at the University. Best case scenario, I find something paid or a teaching position at Southeast Community College (I can teach now that I have an M.A., go figure). I would like to avoid working at the bank again if at all possible. But, it's an option all the same. So my day-to-day struggle remains trust in God's sovereignty over my job and the career I feel like I'm heading (or trying to head) into, given marriage, and our financial situation. Praise God that He is sovereign.
