I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I was so overwhelmed, so......depressed.....after I got word that I have a job interview. The responsibility? The nervousness of the interview? I really sucked at my last interview. But, I was too tired and too emotionally drained to figure it out. I didn't tell my kids. I certainly didn't tell my husband. Then, I had a good night's sleep. Whew. And I get it. At least in part. If have a job, I will truly be able to decide which direction I'm going in maritally. And I want a separation. I don't know if it's forever, but I know that I need the time to simply heal and get good rest and do what I need to do. And the other thing is that I don't want to tell him about the job interview because my getting a paying job is about the only thing he cares about about me. This last week he was asking me if I was subbing...each day.....and I know that as the week went on and I said no, he was frustrated.
So, I have an interview. Getting the job or not, it's a good experience. And, whether I feel ready or not, I know that I can teach. I can do it. AND, I'd get time off for holidays and summer. Who doesn't love that? If I taught a half session of summer school, I would get to take the kids on a nice vacation. Hard to get my hopes up. I think that that is part of the problem. I know that what they really want is for me to go back to school. To be "modernized." But, I'll just have to find somewhere that will take me as I am. Because I don't have it in me to get another degree this year. But, God knows that. And He knows me. And, I fear the feeling that I will never be allowed to get a job until I perform.....yet, God isn't like that. I'll just rest and let Him love me. And, job or not, I will be fine.
grace to you.
