On Wednesday the 25th of January my car was repossessed so not only do I not have a job but now I have no car to look for a job and to top it off I have not one but two parking tickets I owe $200 for now. I have written people for help, contacted my church and other churches for assistance, left posts at craigslist.com, and most of all done a lot of crying and praying about it but ultimately it is up to God where I work, how I get to work and what I do while I wait so I have been reading my Bible most everyday to get some direction to where I am going. My husband has a job but in San Diego, CA for two people to make it in the same household both need to be working and I have no real work skills so I make calls, go to places like the South Metro Career Center to find work, print resumes and send them out or give them out if I have transportation to do so. I also send my resumes through the Internet to improve my chances of finding work through Online Employment Agencies like Monster.com, DiversityInc, SD Jobs and Caljob.ca.gov but so far the jobs are to far or I don't have qualifications to apply so I continue to look on line for work and then I look for free stuff like bikes so I can ride to work from home which means getting to work won't cost me anything as long as the bike is in good condition. I would like to someday work for The Monitor or some Christian newspaper if someone would give me a chance to use my ameteur writing skills. I have never attended a writing school but I have always loved writing. I have been writing poetry since I was 10 years old and even had a website at one time but it has been tampered with so I plan to design a new one which is a reflection of my faith. Being a Christian means that I know who has everything under control which means I have no reason to worry but that doesn't mean I don't think about my future and what I would like to do. Also being 39 years old is another thing I think about. Since I am almost 40 I would like to have an on going career doing something before I get much older but right now I don't know what. I attended an Auto Body Repair and Refinishing ROP course back in 2003 but haven't found a job doing that yet so the search for a job goes on but not just a job but one I will like and enjoy. I have worked at McDonald's, KFC, Dominos, a place called the Purple Cow in Phoenix, AZ, and other restaurants and was injured while working for Shoney's and then injured again while I was working for Sony Electronics. I don't want to work for any company that I have to make calls or use a cash register but right now that seems like my only option but without a car how do I get there and then how do I get home. I don't mind taking the bus or the trolley but I hate public transportation although it is useful for when you have no way to get anywhere. I guess all I can do is keep praying, keep, looking for work and wait for God's timing because his timing is perfect.
