So much on TV, so little time

I'm applying for new jobs everyday, and .......nothing.  God seems to want me to stay at this miserable job, but why?  I don't know the reason yet, and I probably won't until it's long behind me.  Until then, I am taking my sister's advice which is to take my feelings out of the situation.  I just go to work to pay my bills, then go home.

However, tonight when I came home from work around 7 pm I thought, "Is this what life is about?  Is this what we are suppose to be doing with our time?"  Now it's 11 pm, and I need to go to bed so I can get back up in the morning to get ready for work.....again.  Vicious cycle.  I go to work, but I am not present, then I come home, watch TV, and go to bed.  Is there something else we are suppose to be doing?  I feel like we have all lost our sense of purpose. 

If we have to work why can't we all just enjoy our jobs?  I know why life can't be simple, but why can't it just be a little simpler than it is.  I know I'm not meant to know the answer to these questions.  And, that is fine.  I found this pin on Pinterest that helps in times like these.....

 

I'm quite obsessed with Josh Garrels' music right now so let me conclude with this... 

 

 

Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
So, cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
We'll understand this, all by and by

Tempted and tried, I wondered why
The good man died, the bad man thrives
And Jesus cries because he loves 'em both
We're all cast-aways in need of rope
Hangin' on by the last threads of our hope
In a house of mirrors full of smoke
Confusing illusions I've seen

Where did I go wrong, I sang along
To every chorus of the song
That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates
Leading mice and men down to their fates
But some will courageously escape
The seductive voice with a heart of faith
While walkin' that line back home

So much more to life than we've been told
It's full of beauty that will unfold
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son
That deadweight burden weighs a ton
Go down into the river and let it run
Wash away all the things you've done
Forgiveness alright

Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
So, cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
We'll understand this, all by and by

Still I get hard pressed on every side
Between the rock and a compromise
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin' for my soul
And I've got no place left go
'Cause I got changed by what I've been shown
More glory than the world has known
Keeps me ramblin' on

Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
I'm free to love once and for all
And even when I fall I'll get back up
For the joy that overflows my cup
Heaven filled me with more than enough
Broke down my levees and my bluffs
Let the flood wash me

And one day when the sky rolls back on us
Some rejoice and the others fuss
'Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess
That the Son of God is forever blessed
His is the kingdom, we're the guests
So put your voice up to the test
Sing Lord, come soon

Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
So, cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
We'll understand this, all by and by
