When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
Hahahahaha... WOW!
I can't believe how much this quote speaks to me Jojo! That's TOTALLY the EXACT feeling I'm at right now... I honestly feel I have seriously come to the end of my rope, and God's telling me to tie a rope and hang on, to have patience and let HIM guide me through my life. WOW!
Hahahahah! That's unbelievable! :O
So today I was supposed to go to this job training in Chilliwack for this "sketchy" guy (as my room-mates 'n friends would say), but when I was driving there... something was just... not right. I drove as far as the No.3 exit and stopped on the side of the road... I had earlier been praying to God and was asking for confirmation on this job, and he whispered to me "no"... and everything in my heart told me no as well... so there I was on the side of the road, I only had 5 minutes to get to the training, and all the uncertainty in the world was racing through my head... "what should I do?... this job is totally far fetched from my career direction... are my friends right about this job? about the sketchy job, boss and everything?... not to mention the work I had to do in order to find out everything about this job, because the employers were too VAGUE on their job details and basically told me nothing about the job, said I was hired and to come in asap for training... hmmm? Something totally sketchy about that... not to mention the uncomfortableness of the MEN working there, and how awkward everything seemed there... my spirit was uneasy with everything... " So there I was this morning, on the side of the road, debating my brains out on whether or not it was worth it to drive all the way to Chilliwack and NOT like the job... so I didn't... I phoned the dude and told him it wasn't going to work out, and not surprisingly he was was just like "okay!" but was all cool about it... hmmmm? *Dials police number* hahah, kidding!
So everyone out there, if your wondering what the job was... I found ALL this out AFTER I got hired because I had to phone in and ask direct questions to get my answers... sheesh! The advertisement was very vague on the job details and it didn't even state where the job was, which I found out was in Chilliwack! But they were very sneeky in making the advertisement make the job sound appealing... "wow! Our business is growing so fast, blah blah blah blah!" I'm such a sucker... I fell for it, stupid me. NOT again mister! Anyway, they're basically a Startech company, selling an indoor air quality product which replaces vacuums... my position was Set-up and Display 'n talk to people? And to be an assistant to this employer dude... no thanks man, you're a little sketchy! Anyhoo, the job supposedly pays $16-25/hr, but it all depends on the 72 appointments and other stuff... I seriously don't think they pay you that much money, but who knows. And the job is a 7 day job... weekdays from 1pm-9pm and weekends from 11am-7pm... and they don't have benefits, you need your own vehicle (I'm not sure if they even pay for your gas to drive from appt. to appt... and whether or not the job is only in Chilliwack or throughout the lower mainland or what)... so all in all, I advise anyone and everyone NOT to fall for this kind of job, but that's just my opinion. It's a sketchy job atmosphere, they're very vague on their details, and my internal warning signs are popping up everywhere! So yeah...
ANYMOO, after phoning the guy telling him I wasn't interested... I drove across the bridge on the No.3 road and kept driving until I came to this park... it was really small but secluded... so I just parked, shut off my jeep and sat there... I looked across to the river and all but hopelessness flooded through my mind... I came to a point... "the end of the rope" so to speak... and felt like... I just felt hopeless, tired, discouraged, but yet content and peaceful... I knew I made the right decision, but I just wanted to cry... And I knew God was telling me to be patient and to let him provide the job for me, and right then I was just at the point where I was like "OKAY GOD! I get it! I'm sorry for not obeying you... please help me. I want to be obedient so I'm going to wait and trust that you will work everything out or that you already have plans set out for me..." and you know what? I still felt content and peaceful about it all... but I honestly think that a part of me was still fearful for some reason... so I sat there and started thinking and praying... afterwards, I just ended up calling my mentor Kris and told her all about it... hahahah, she sounded surprised to hear my voice because it was 10am, and she knew I was going to be at training... so it was kind of funny, but I just needed to talk to someone and ask for confirmation on my decision... she basically told me that it was my choice, but she did warn me and gave me her opinion on it... then she told me that her husband Dan was totally against the whole thing... and he's a business man, he knows! So after hearing that, I was happy about my decision and knew that it was the right thing to do.
So yeah, I came home and hahahah, my room-mates were wondering why I was back so quickly... I told them the whole deal and they were kind of confused, because I know they both said to just go and check it out, but my heart was telling me otherwise... which is ironic, because when I FIRST told them about the job, they both were totally against it and told me it was too sketchy and that I shouldn't go, so talk about confusing! Ahhgh! But I told them about my experience and talk with God, and then they both understood... hmmmm?
But right now I'm kind of discouraged because I phoned the Horse Farm that was advertised in the newspaper, and they didn't have their job position available anymore! :( *cry* haha, kidding... I was REALLY interested in that job too! I should've phoned them earlier! O'well... what can ya do! They have my name anyway, just in case another position opens, so that's cool. But I honestly would've LOVED that job... feeding horses, turning them out, cleaning stalls, working tractors and doing all that ranch kind of stuff... something I would LOVE to do, because funny enough, that kind of work brings me joy. It's HARD work, but from working on the ranch this summer, I can handle it! Soooo... hopefully another opportunity like that pops up! *crossing my fingers!* hahaha!
So that's that.
Hey Jojo Riley! Doesn't this quote fit me... "The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground". hahaha, kind of parallels my nickname from this summer... "stands with a fist", hahahahahahah! I stand my ground, that's for sure... chef Dave made that clear... only the "greatest oak" part makes me sound Oooooollllldddddd, hehe. I'm not old! And don't tease me about OLD men Jo! Pfft! :P Hahahah! And "once a little nut"... HAHAHAHAHAHA... I can be nutty sometimes, hahaha! Okay! sheesh! Enough analyzing! Maybe relating to this quote wasn't such a good idea, hahah! *ahem* But it sure made me laugh! :D
Well anymoo, all I have to do right now is "tie a knot and hang on!" Because honestly, that's ALL I can do right now. Obedience is key in a relationship with God, and he sure made that clear today, and so here I am, being obedient to His will for my life, and letting HIM lead me in His footsteps... I can't do it on my own, it doesn't lead anywhere, and if it does, it's not where God want's me to be. So here I am. God is here. I'm waiting. I'm trying to be patient. And I'm feeling content and peaceful with everything.......

Hey girls, I just want to really thank you for making this post. My daughter was on her way to this exact same job after the exact same vague interview, and so the night before I thought I'd better try to do some research on this vague job thing, but I couldn't find a thing on it anywhere, except for your post.
So a HUGE thankyou is in order for saving her the trouble. I warned her and gave her the link to this and she clued in pretty quick. By the way, her boyfriend called these guys up the next day and questioned them(played dumb) and concluded that wild horses couldn't drag the truth out of this bunch of non-vacuum cleaner salesmen.
Well, very thankful to you.
Happy Mom
By the way, you are very cute. :) Keep on serving the Lord and listening to His voice! You've been a blessing to me!
