Still waiting

Well, I was kind of hoping to have more to share before the next time I wrote, but it's been a month, so I guess y'all are about due for an update. I am still deep in the process of trying to find a job; I have several applications/inquiries out, and an interview on Friday, so I'm praying for guidance, patience, and direction. I have a place to teach piano, so I am working through the steps needed before I start my piano studio up again. I did some subbing for a local classical Christian school and hope to do some more if I am not able to find a traditional i.e. full time job. I'm slowly starting to find ways to connect in town again, and I'm looking to start volunteering at the library. It's a mixed blessing, this slower pace of life. On the one hand I'm realizing how desperately I was in need of rest-physical, mental, and emotional. On the other, I really need to have some sort of income by the end of the month. So, hour by hour I'm trying to take advantage of opportunities and ideas while still trusting that God knows what He is doing with this unstable feeling season. Thank you to everyone who is praying and encouraging; knowing people are rooting for me makes all the difference. I don't know what all God is doing right now, but I'm trying to use the slowness to listen better. As I keep reminding myself, no time spent getting to know God better is ever wasted!
