Back to work.

So this blog is about work. Specifically, my work, how I'm looking at it and for it and about it.

Here's the 'right now':

As of the last few weeks, around five full-time and one contract (five months or so of work for a company) gigs have shown up.

Four-and-a-half of those jobs are in Raleigh and one is down in Orlando, FL.

As of today two of the Raleigh jobs are pretty much off the list, one is delayed (staffing company trying to get me in for an interview but the hiring team is a bit up in the air) and one-and-a-half are outstanding and waiting for the next step (the one where the staffing company is trying to get me into the company for an interview and the half where I'm being screened by staffing).

Tomorrow, though, I'm being flown to interview for the Orlando job (which is right in the 'sweet-spot' for my skills and experience - to use the parlance I began in the first posts on this blog - those gifts I've been given by my God to take dominion of creation for Him). It appears to be a good job and I should be able to do it well. But, it is in Florida.

There's the key issue of this post. I'm happy here. I love my church and am satisfied with where I'm planted. God might maybe possibly theoretically want me to move and I'm worried about it. At the same time, I want to serve Him with all my being and if that is somewhere else, "not my will, but yours". Here's a case of what I want maybe possibly theoretically conflicting with what God might maybe possibly theoretically do with me and my being stressed about that potential conflict. Crazy, isn't it?

I spent the morning worried about this thing but am finally mostly out of the way. I will seek first His Kingdom, His way and let tomorrow worry about itself. Matthew 6:25-34:
"25 'Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 'Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.'"

How do we "seek"? Aren't you reading the posts? Go back and do it before passing 'go' and moving on. Later.
