I thank you for your prayers again for my mom. She is doing better, it is just a slow process. I wanted to let you know about my time at home so far. It has been wonderful, refreshing, and so peaceful. My heart is here and I know my future is here as well. I know as I continue to be obedient to the Lord, He will give me the desires of my heart. It is my prayer that He would make His will my desires.
Amazing time with friends, two weddings in one day, and a wonderful time in church this morning singing one of my favorite worship songs fills me with so much joy. It is once again a bittersweet moment, as I will be returning to San Diego late Monday Night. I know God is doing a work in me in my desert (being San Diego).
As you all know, while being in San Diego I am seeking jobs and available positions, which would be moving forward in the post-college life. In that movement, it can be discouraging as the recreation and hospitality industry is down 22% from last year due to the current state of our economy. This means less jobs. Not very promising to this new college graduate. This afternoon, when returning from church I perused Craigslist for San Luis Obispo and found a job listing to a position at a winery in Paso Robles, that is full-time. It is for a Hospitality Managers position. I immediately applied with my resume for this position. This is the first job I have applied to here at home since moving to San Diego. I know my time in San Diego is unknown... only God does, and I don't know if this will come to anything, but I believe God will put me where He wants me... when He wants me there. I feel so selfish in wanting this in order to return home to comfort and peace, when maybe God wants me rattled and on my toes. I definitely know I love God more today than I did yesterday.
So my full job update is this: I have 3 positions I have applied for in San Diego one being as an Event Sales for an Event Planning firm, another is for an Event Coordinator positon for a mortgage company, and lastly is for the San Diego Conventions and Visitors' Bureau as a Sales Development Coordinator. While I desire to work more in lines with Tourism, I am hoping more for the Sales Development position. The positions I have here at home is just the one I applied for today.
What will happen?! I don't know. God does, and I am putting my trust and desires in God. This has been an amazing time to be home and can't wait to be home for my birthday. Everytime I am here is not long enough, but better than nothing. I love my girls for letting me call Ash St. home, since it is the last place I was before leaving and these girls are my rock when I am home, and their love is such a comfort and I see God's love in them and it is so amazing. THANKS ASH GIRLS!!
Prayer Requests:
My aunts' (Krissie, Patti, Sara, Jen, Samantha, and Karen's) dad is going for surgery for a cancerour tumor that was nor responding to treatment and chemo. Keep him in your prayers and my aunts. His surgery is October 14th.
My mom to continue to get better
Headaches. This past month I have had headaches everyday pretty much everyday and I don't want to be on medicine anymore and I want to find the source. Pray for God to heal or the means for me to go to a doctor. The headaches are there from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep, and it kinda worries me.
Pray for God's direction in my life.
I will keep you all posted on the job situation. Thank you again for praying. I love you all so very much.
In Christ,
Caitlyn Lawton
