[New.Possibilities]

Well, things kind of hit sometimes out of left field, don't they?! I found out about a editor position which looks at least a little promising. It would be with a large, well-known, Christian publishing company. Because of this, it is actually the most qualified job that I've applied for up to this point. I've been writing for this company for a couple of years now, so I have good contact with many editors who are currently on staff. I emailed several of them & they said they would be glad to be references for me. In fact, one of them is a part of the hiring process since getting a promotion earlier this year.

The downside is that it would be a big move for us (a good 10-13 hours from where we live now & pretty much that far away from all of our immediate family). However, it would be such an uplifting position for me - something that actually excites me thinking about it! I'm not trying to get ahead of myself, as there is certainly no indication at this point that they would even consider me or that they haven't come close already to filling the position. It is good to feel excited again, though. The way I've been feeling lately I'm more apt to go ahead and just give my heart & hope into something like this, even if it does come crashing down sometime. Much better this than just simply 'existing' as I have been for awhile.

No more word on the 'just youth minister' talk. I need to talk with our pastor about it, but there is a (HUGE) part of me that is just hoping I find another job quickly so that I don't even have to begin down that road. We'll see.
