So today I finished working on my resume and have turned in my application for a job that could potentially double my income. Which would be totally awesome. I mean come on I already make like a million dollars a month(smell that sarcasm). This could do some great things for us in the future. It can provide us with the lifestyle we would like, where Shelly doesn't have to go to work and would be able to stay home with (future) children and be the awesome Mommy I know she will be. I often wonder though, am I worthy of such blessings from God. When you start to analyze yourself you begin to think. Why would God want to bless me? Of course why would God want to save me for that matter? This just humbles me, then I start to think how dare I ask for more when God has given me and my wife so much already. Am I crazy do other people feel like this sometimes? I feel like bratty child in the grocery store who wants this and that. Once sitting and thinking about it, I don't think wanting this job is a bad request and if he gives it to me. It's not like I want more money so we can vacation in the Bahama's or buy all new cars and junk we don't need. But it would be nice to not have to budget ourselves into a corner where we can't be a blessing to anyone.
okay that's enough of that, anywho, to my prayer warriors out there please pray that if it be God's will that I can get this job.
oh right, the job, I guess some of you don't even know what i do, let alone what I am wanting to do.
Current Position- Records Specialist
I maintain the computer graphics of the Electric Grid after the various electrical constructions jobs have been completed. I also balance everything so that all the material and labor are recorded accurately so Oncor can get paid either from the Electric providers, homeowners or the State.
Position applied for- Distribution Service Advisor (DSA)
This person handles direct customer issues, like crossed or missing meters, scheduling outages for construction projects and notifying business and homeowners, dealing with upset customers about storm work done on their lines and tree trimming issues (yeah I might even be on the news) I would also have close relationships with schools and government officials for storm situations and for safety seminars. It's a pretty neat job.
So if you wouldn't mind add me to your prayer lists, and I'll keep everyone updated as this long process go on in the background.

Hey J,
You know, I have those same feelings sometimes...why would God want to bless me, etc.. I look at my life, my husband, my children and I am absolutely overwhelmed by God's goodness to me. It is certainly nothing I deserve and yet He chose to bless me.
Take the blessings as they come and stop over analyzing things. When we learn to give God the glory in the good and the bad, life just gets a lot easier. Trust me, I am a work in progress and am having to let go of so much and remind myself God is good ALL THE TIME. Easier said than done..I know.
God already knows His plan for your job, so rest easy. Y'all are in our prayers!
You are not alone. We feel the same way around here, and I couldn't have said it better than Michelle.
Praying for you both!
