It's a new season

This afternoon is proving to drag on in every possible sense of the word. I'm so anxious for 8pm to roll around and it just feels like these next two hours and forty five minutes will never come and go. It's simply amazing how fast the time flies when I'm relaxing at my apartment during my lunch break and how brutally endless the afternoon shift can be- busy or not.

After many hours of prayer and tears shed, my husband and I have made the decision that it's time for me to quit my job. I spoke with my church mentor this past weekend to get a word from her on the whole job issue, and she told me that this was the step of faith that God was calling me to take. Sure, quitting my job has never been the hard part of it all-- it's finding something else in the process that has me feeling a bit nervous.

In spite of that, I put in my two weeks notice on Monday. I have an interview tomorrow afternoon with a language academy here in Roquetas and I'm also waiting to confirm an interview with another language academy here in Aguadulce. I'm waiting for more transcription work to come in, and I might have some e-learning English courses to teach soon. I'm going to continue contacting the few translation agencies around here to see if there's any work available as well... I don't know. I know that God is going to work everything out, and I'm confident that this is the step of faith that I needed to take at this very point in my life.

Chechu and I are leaving for LA on December 20th, and I'm praying that I'll have work lined up before then with something full time to come back to in January when we return. I know that God is going to work it all out.
