Questions- Comments Wanted!

So over the last few weeks I've had quite a few ideas/questions/thoughts that have led me to wonder...what is the right choice? If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them!

#1- I've been applying and applying for jobs and yet the verse "Be still and know that I am God" keeps coming back to my mind. Should I just be still and wait for the Lord to honor 1 of the applications I've sent out? I'm such a doer- I feel like I need to be applying some more, trying to make something happen. Anyone else feel that way? Any ideas?

#2- I've been thinking about starting my own Organizing business. Several months ago I went out to California and organized my aunt's office. I always liked being organized, but this actually made it feel worth it and that maybe I could make a business of it. I just need to find the right clientele. Do you think going out on my own is a good idea? Has anyone done anything like this? Or would working for another company be a good way to start? Any ideas?? Anyone want to hire me? ;)

#3- What is the reason that I am going through this situation? I know God has a plan and I know His best is always far better than our best- but how long do I have to wait? I constantly feel like I'm in the "Hurry Up and Wait" mode these days. Anyone else feel that way?

This verse keeps coming to my mind as well, esp. while I'm laying in bed at night thinking that I'm never gonna get a job!
Isaiah 26:3
   " Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
I think I need to focus more on Christ and less on myself!

I think yesterday's message could have just been for me...it was on
Luke 9:23
    "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

Not sure how to end this besides a request to keep praying! I appreciate all your prayers and I know God will answer in a mighty way!

wow! how do you answer those questions for some one?!!!
well, one thing i've always felt is that i want to be willing to do what God wants, so i've always actively set out to do things & as i am praying i ask God to close the doors on what He doesn't want...as well as open the doors to what He does want. i wish i had the answers as to why God has set you on this path. but i can say that you are an amazing woman & that i am sure the He is well pleased with you as you experience this journey. maybe He just wants to to "be still" so you don't miss out on the life He has for you right now as you try to figure out what the future holds. i think you would be awesome at the organizing thing!! but i have no idea how to get you started on that! word of mouth, research online and free advertising--facebook & maybe craigslist?! i don't know--just throwing ideas out there. love ya! we'll keep praying!
