It’s been a long time, but there has been a great deal going on in my life. I’ll give you a quick run down. For the past month or so, work at Reliant has been unproductive and unstable, so I finally decided to leave the job before things crashed and burned. I turned in my things last Friday and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. But of course, more weight was there to be dropped on me. First of all, a couple of weeks ago I interviewed for a job in Austin at FaithHighway. The same afternoon that I quit my job at Reliant, FaithHighway contacted me and offered me the job. Now, at this point, you’re probably thinking that this is answered prayer and an easy decision. Oh, how wrong you would be. I haven’t told you about the job interview Katy had this past Monday in Dallas for a job at Hope for the Heart. The interview went well, and we both feel like we should go that direction as opposed to Austin. We simply have to wait to hear from them. The question is, should Katy not get the job, should I take the job in Austin? The job sounds pretty good, consulting churches and ministries in building websites. There’s decent pay, benefits, and a good work environment. There’s really nothing wrong with the job as far as I can tell. I just don’t think I am as excited about it as I should be.
Now to Katy’s job scenario. Again, the pay is decent, benefits, environment, etc. But actually, it seems like a really good fit for her and she is excited about it as well. We also feel like Dallas is a better fit than Austin, based on proximity to friends and family. We just haven’t heard from them yet and my offer in Austin is wearing thin probably.
So, the basic layout looks like this: If Katy is offered the job, we think God wants us to take it. If Katy is not offered it, we are unsure if we should go to Austin, go to Dallas anyway, or stay put and keep looking.
So, I apologize for not posting through all of this, but I’ll stay on top of things from now on. If you have any thoughts, let me know….I’m always eager to hear my friends’ perspectives.
