The finding out…
While the waiting might very well be the hardest part, I can now say that the finding out isn’t all that easy, either.
As might have been easily discerned, I was waiting on the results of a job search. More specifically on the results of being a finalist for a position that would’ve been a significant progression in my career trajectory (from the assistant director-level I’m currently at, to a director-level position).
I didn’t get it.
Which has been quite a difficult pill to swallow. Not (necessarily) because I’m unhappy where I am currently, but more because I believe that I’m ready to take the next step, career-wise, while also being at a point where it makes sense wrt family commitments to make a change, and because I really did like & want the position that I didn’t get.
That all said, I’ve been trying to take a more thoughtful & measured approach to my current situation, at least as it pertains to the doctrine of vocation. There is still work to be done where I’m at, and I need to remember that I’m here for a reason, and that I can very much serve my neighbor in positive, God-pleasing ways. It isn’t always easy or pleasant, but then I guess those were never really promised, were they?
I’m still going to keep my eyes & ears open for other positions, as I believe that doing so is a responsible thing to do, in terms of faithfully executing my vocations as husband, father, & head-of-household. I’m just going to have to try and avoid being too manic about it, so that I don’t make myself crazy.
