Wk 10, Day 3 (Wed, 25-Sep-2013)

THOUGHTS:

• I'm glad the Lord has been working on my ex to be reasonably responsive to me and him making his child support payments promptly, especially when his paycheck doesn't cover it.  However, the issue is that for months now, his employer has failed to submit nearly every time the child support payments in a timely manner, sometimes even forgetting.  So, I'm having to take actions with DCSE to see if I can get this remedied.
• Had an amazing Quiet Time today with the Lord.  I'm learning to listen to God's still small voice.
• I've gotten some more rejections from jobs.  Not sure what the issue is, but maybe God is closing those doors and opening others or wants me to do something else or making way for other things.  However, I am not discouraged.  God is our Provider, Jehovah Jireh.  He will make a way and my focus is on Him and doing an excellent job in the work that He has given me.  
• My SIL and sister have been sending me job opps and I've been following up on those, though, nothing except for the sub con job I got at the end of April that allows me to work from home.  I've been trying for all different things.  Funny, I see a lot of signs and things that companies are hiring and I keep applying, but no bites there either.  Well, I did get one interview last week, but the company by the end of the week eliminated that position before they even hired anyone.  Guess that's a big no.  I'm over qualified for many things, under qualified for others, or totally qualified for others, but been out of that area for too long or I don't know.

• Took my heart meds, hair supps.
• Drank water (a 48 oz QT cup).
