Oh Sandy,

I am so sorry, I just read your reply today.  Don't know how I missed it because I have been watching for an update from you.  You are definately NOT TOO OLD to go back to school.  There are alot of women in your shoes who return to take a college course - for a 2nd career choice.  Community colleges are inexpensive also.  Check into a vet-tech course just for the heck of it and I bet you'll be surprised. You know we are living longer, 40 is the new 20! Please do not give up hope.....And even if you just got your foot in the door as a receptionist at a vet, it might lead to your desired position.  And Sandy, I do not believe there are any wrong choices, ecspecially for those who love God.  Don't be so hard on yourself......GOD loves YOU. 

Your sister in Christ, Lisa

Thank you all for your words of encouragement.

I'm only working 3 days a week now, trying to get in 40 hours of work into 25, so I don't have as much time to post as I used to. My computer at home is very sloooow, so I rarely get online there. If I do, it's just to read email and a few things before I get tired of waiting for websites to open, LOL.

It doesn't look like I'll get a "real" job any time soon, so I'm looking into wholesale online at sites like E-bay and Amazon. However, I am still looking!

I got a call for another position at the Humane Society, but I turned it down. Much of the time, I would have to eat lunch surrounded by smokers. I can't stand cigarette smoke. It literally makes me sick. The one time I ate with them, I could barely finish my sandwich. I also think that started by bronchitis, which I've been fighting ever since then.

I think I might've already said, but I also signed with a temporary agency. As soon as I get over this bronchitis, I'll let them know I'm available to work part-time. I can't give up my job at the church just yet--it's my only source of income right now. It feels like I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. This living in the fire isn't much fun, but I know God has a purpose in it all. I just wish I knew what it was and that I could learn my lesson PRONTO so I can get on with it already, LOL!!!

Sandy, if God wants you to give up your church job He'll find a way to do it...just like I quit my church cleaning job because of their pettiness, which allowed me to get out of Babylon without the guilt of still taking their money. I don't want Babylon's money if you know what I mean...so, keep praying on it and it will come. (I am doing another cleaning job for a 60 year old guy who would probably be better off married;doesn't pay quite as well as the church job, but I'm making enough to meet my expenses.)--Deb aka snorky

PS--be careful about that "wholesaling through e-bay" stuff...I've checked out some programs on that and it seems to me that many are doing that, which means you will be competing against a large number of e-bay wholesalers, selling the same items (electronics, computers, jewelry, DVDs, iPods and the like). Now if some program would come up with more unique stuff, say, pet care or fishing tackle or camping gear or sporting goods, it could work...it's just it seems all these wholesalers are selling the same things!

Hey, Sandy ~

Try going out to lunch for a change......it can be fun!

Peace, Lisa

sandy first of all I will be praying for you and I personally think that GOD teaches us to be patient and maybe that is what he is teaching you, i dunno coz im not him, but just from what ya said that you wish this would hurry up like pronto and go on.. something on that order forgive me i forget easily. BUT I think GOD has taught me patience and maybe still teaching me, im always wanting things NOW i dont want to wait I want them to happen now always been like that, WELL 8 years ago, i got a rare lung disease called PAH (which they said i wouldnt make it 2 years ,its been over 3 now, but that was without medicine ,which they didnt have medicine like 5-6 years or less to treat it) anyhow I learnt Patience real fast, being stuck at home now. :(  HOMebound and walking around my house with a hose up my nose and hose getting tripped on by me and everyone else,feels like my nose is getting ripped off my face lol. Im not meaning to sound mean or anything like that, i say that with total Love and from my own experience with being patient. I do pray that new doors open up for you SOON. If its in his plan it will happen in his time not ours.
