Welcome Back: Talents and Opportunities

Hi! Welcome back!

The reason why I started writing again is because of this talk. I realized that I have a talent that I have not shared for a long time. It's not writing, I can tell you that but sharing my thoughts and my testimony, I believe, are my talents. I have been pretty good at writing in my journal recently, and my wife and I have been motivating and encouraging each other to write every night.

Anyways, I had some thoughts and I wanted to share them with you. You who may not read this ever or may not read this until years later. It doesn't matter to me. This could just be for me to vent.

Before I got married, most of my thoughts and concerns that I wanted to vent were about dating and just future plans. Now it's all about future plans. There is a job/career that I would love. However, the only thing that's preventing me from getting that job is degree. Many of you don't know but I have started a Master's degree in Student Affairs in January. It will help me move forward and advance my career.

This particular position I want might possibly become available as soon as April. I know the supervisor and he has told me that he would consider me for at least an interview if the position becomes available. However, due to an unforeseen event, there is an extra person in the office that might prevent them from hiring another person when the opportunity arises. It is frustrating because this person, I believe, does not deserve the position and I really really really REALLY want this position! All the time, all I ask for is an opportunity. An opportunity to talk about myself, my talents and skills, and my potential. When that is taken away from me, I get frustrated.

I tell myself that God has a plan for me. I know He does but it's always frustrating when there is something that could benefit not only you but so many people through you but you don't even get a chance to try out for it. That's the most frustrating part.

Although I complain like this, I know that He will comfort me and give me something that's better. Something that He has in store for me. I need to be patient as I always needed to be.
