Why Isn't It Working??

So lately I have been really frustrated with the way things are not going how I want them to be going with work. I have my bachelor's degree, and really really want to use it to bless the lives of people. Is it that hard to ask for a job that will help me to do that? Why is it that other people can find a good job in a few weeks and I have been looking since February and still have not found a place that wants to hire me? Well, I am working at Aspen Grove, so at least I am working, but still--it can be defeating to be told over and over that you are not wanted.
So I have been thinking about this, the whole why me thing, and what I am doing wrong, which is probably a good thing to think about because obviously it is something right? Lack of interviewing skills, maybe I need a better resume...who knows. But through all of this, though I am still looking for another job, it seems that my attitude has been changing.
Lately at work things have seemed a little bit easier, too. It is a very physical job and I think I am getting stronger so I can do more things a lot faster--plus I am learning the ropes so it is getting better. Still not my dream job. But Along those lines--this does have a point I promise--I was just thinking tonight about how sometimes we aren't given what we want. Imagine that. But, what HAVE I been given? Well, I have been given this job. I am able to associate with the head honchos a lot so maybe I can learn something from them. I am working with a lot of younger people who still have zest for life and are not jaded from all kinds of bad experiences or failed relationships or whatever. ;) I feel like my attitude is slowly changing and I am coming to appreciate hard work a lot more. The days are going by faster and I can come home knowing that I worked hard and got a lot accomplished, and not only that, but I am hopefully not getting any bigger from sitting around all day. haha....Anyway so I think sometimes when we are frusterated that things in our life are not meeting up to our expectations, we just have to throw up our hands and remember what we HAVE been given, remember that we can't really control everything and make it go the way we want it to go, and instead, look at what the Lord has given you and stop being so prideful and be grateful for it and USE it--spend the life you have been given the way the Lord intends for you to spend it. (I think I might contact one of the head honchos and ask him if I can learn some administration things from him) Enjoy it while it is here. Put forth all of your efforts to see that each day and each task and each person is given your best. Oh how selfish and short minded we can be! Remember your blessings! :) Look for the things that God has given you, look for them and see them as tools. Then build your life accordingly.
