Busy
Nope, I didn't forget my old blogger friends, just for the record. I've been pretty busy with Andrew and our new church. We are absolutley loving the new church that we are attending and serving at. The people at our new church have really taken us under their wing and loved us like neither of us are used to! It's truly wonderful!
I know you are all probably wondering about my new job and how it is going. Well, I can't say I am as excited as I was 3 months ago. Actually, I'm no where close to as excited as I used to be. I have found that I have a lot of down time - way more than what I am used to or comfortable with. I am the type of person that needs to be needed.....................and right now, I don't feel needed at all. I feel as if I were to just walk out today everything would go on as usual and I would not even be missed.
I have found myself in a very discouraging seat lately. 6 out of the 8 hours that are in a day I personally do not feel as if I have done anything that is worthwhile. My boss may disagree with me - but that's just where I am right now. I feel like I am in a completely brainless job and that and me just don't go together.
I also am finding that finances are tighter than I would like for them to be. Our bills are getting paid and we aren't struggling however if something were to happen and we needed a lump sum of money we wouldn't have it. Whereas in the past it would not have been a problem. Again, it's just very discouraging.
I have thought about asking for a raise however becuase of the reality of my earlier statement, I just cannot merrit asking for a raise when I do not feel like my position is valid as it is. I truly believe that there could be 1 executive assistant for every 2 or even 3 vice president's and there would still be down time.
I am just sitting in limbo right now - waiting paitently to know and understand what the reason is for me to stay here and continue this day in and day out boring way of life. It's like I just can't wait to leave in the afternoon so that I can do something that amounts to something. Does that make sense?
Well - just keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I have a plan under my belt - but you'll have to check back in after a day or so to see if I am ready to unleash it!!!
