I find myself having a good unexpected cry after an ex-coworker sent me an e-mail in response to the one I sent that had an attached cover letter of mine she was proof reading. She said "you are a wonderful person and had more responsibility and influence than you think you had at LTF. Be proud of what you've done, and it isn't immodest to let people know!" Is it true? I want to believe it is. I had no idea there was still so much emotion there. I've been so busy with my kids I have not had much time to feel the pain of leaving the Life I once knew. Perhaps my "desire" to stay home full-time IS out of fear of the unfamiliar rather then God's direction. Being with my kids all day has been exhausting hard work, perhaps more than God desires for me. Maybe it's been exhausting hard work because I have still not surrendered my days at home to Him.
I'm finally ready to apply for my first job. I have confidence in my resume, a cover letter that needs just a few minor adjustments and a position posted on Monster.com that has sparked some interest. There is hesitation to send it out to multiple places. Do I want to apply JUST to apply and get some experience in the the process or do I cherry pick the ones that are interesting and seem I'm suited for? One job at a time, right? ;o)
Thanks Kristine, you've been comforting and encouraging, you're strength inspires me. Thanks to everyone for your guidance and help. I miss everyone SO MUCH. Sometimes it's just not fair but Life goes on.
Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

3 cups bulgar wheat (dry)
3 stocks celery, chopped
1 apple, chopped
6-8 green onions, chopped
1 can frozen orange juice concentrate
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup oil (something light tasting, like sunflower, NOT olive oil, I just used veggie)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt, pepper, cayenne pepper to taste
These I don't have exact measurements for (guesses):
Craisens (1/2 to ¾ cup chopped)
Sunflower seeds (1/2 cup)
Walnuts (1/2 to ¾ cup chopped)
Parsley (1/4 cup chopped)
I guess you can also add chopped dates or apricots too.
Bring three cups water to a boil then add bulgar wheat and take off heat and let the water absorb fully. Mix everything together.

Romans 9:16
It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
