New job maybe

[Lookingforhope20100]

I just applied for a new job I'm worried about getting it I don't know if im cut out for it or if my mental health will get in the way I also have learning disabilities, I really want this job I'd love to work with kids teach them do crafts read books to them it all sounds great but what if I can't do it then what or what if I don't get it? I don't handle rejection well. I don't even know if I'm what they are looking for I've never done stuff like that. Never worked with kids. I wish I knew what to do I have a lot riding on this job my grandma needs me to have it I can't take care of her or pay her medical bills if I don't get a job

I really hope you get the job. It's good that you care about your grandma.

I had loads of rejections years ago but I don't care now.

You can only do your best.

Fingers crossed 🤞

Dear lookingforhope,

Congratulations, it sounds like you reached beyond your comfort zone and “went for it. ”I think that is a great accomplishment ,whether or not you get the job. It also sounds to me like you are interested in children and are ready to offer them your best. This is so wonderful. You may or may not get this job but don’t stop here. You have started in a new direction and keep on keeping on till you find the place where you belong. Truth is you will only find where you belong by looking and continuing to explore your options.

I am so happy for you. Today is the first day of the rest of your life and you have a new hope. That is such a wonderful place to be. As each day dawns, you have a new chance to find an opportunity to serve. It sounds like you have a beautiful heart for people and there are many places that is sooooo needed.

I suggest that you begin a journal. You might start each entry with something for which you are grateful. Then you might go on to encourage yourself in your pursuit of the RIGHT place for you. Understand that the first place you tried may or may not be the right one for you but there is always something that you can learn or gain from the experience.

I know for me when I was job hunting, I had to just go for whatever was put before me and let it work or not work out. I even took one job I thought I was qualified to handle and when I started work, both my new boss and I realized this was not the place for me. But I learned something and I learned that I had not failed, it had just not been what I expected. Changing my expectations helped me to be more willing to explore. It turned out to be quite an adventure.

I have a friend that says she always expected to be in one job for a long time. But this never worked for her. She never stayed anywhere over 2 years. It wasn’t because there was something wrong with her, it just worked out that way. She learned to take away what she learned and move on.

I am praying for you to find YOUR PLACE. I am praying for you to seize the adventure and find something good about every step you take. God bless you my precious one. God has a plan for you. I think it is so beautiful for you to provide for your Grandmother. So I am praying for God to provide in His own special way.
