Christian Weddings

bad timing

After church today, an admistrator from my grade school who attends the same church found me to let me know that the music job is open next year.  It's my DREAM job.  I adore this school and everything it stands for.  It's where I got my start in music, and I've known I've always wanted to work there!  It's my favorite age group, and the job would be better for my hearing (I've unfortunately aquired noticeable hearing loss with my current job and need to find something easier on my ears)
But I can't apply.  I'm leaving my current job at the end of the school year because I'm moving an  hour away in another time zone, and I just can't handle that distance every day, especially on the rural roads.  Plus, our goal was to hopefully go into grad school in the fall of 2012, and that's not really fair to the school or the kids to be there for just one year.
I'm SO bummed right now, like REALLY bummed.  I know I'm supposed to marry FI and move in with him, and I know another opportunity will open up, but this is the SEOND time this job has opened up and I haven't been able to apply (I was going into my senior year of college when it was open the last time).  I'm not second guessing marrying FI or anything, but if I wasn't marrying FI, I would definitely consider putting off grad school for this job.  It's amazing how your life goals change when you get engaged...
I know God will provide and work everything out, but sometime I get so frustrated becaue it feels like he keeps teasing me dangling this thing that I want so badly!  Anyone ever feel like that?Ugh, so frustrated and bummed right now......

    :-(  I know the feeling.  It took me 3 years after grad school to find a job.  I had several offers out of state but couldn't take them because of H.  I said several times that if I didn't have "baggage" (aka H) I would have moved for a job.

    The good news is that, yes, it all works out in His timing.  I did finally find a job...what I didn't realize at the time is that it is absolutely the perfect job for me.  I've been here 4 years now and still love it.

    I will definitely be praying for peace and guidance for you.

    I gave up my dream of graduating from the same college my dad attended to be with FI. When I got engaged, I knew I would not go back due to finances. I often think how differently my life would be if I wasn't getting married. It's hard to give up a dream for someone you love. I know of a family who built their dream home but moved when the kids got older so they could be closer to friends. Dreams change but God doesn't and it me, that's the best thing. I will be praying for you :)

    Hang in there.   :)  I'm still trying to figure out for sure what I want to even do.  I'm sure He's just making sure you trust in Him enough to wait it out and accept what He has in store for you.  Although I know He doesn't make it easy!!  :)

    That is definitely bad timing, for sure. Is there any way FI could move to where you live instead of you moving there? If not, maybe this is God's way of saying that this "dream job" isn't in His plan for you. Maybe there's an even BETTER job where you are moving. I will say a prayer for you!

    Unfortunately he wouldn't be able to move.  He works more evenings and weekends than I currently do, and while he'd gain an hour driving in the morning, he'd lose it coming home at night.  That and he owns his house under that 8 thousand dollar first time home owner's grant, and hasn't owned the house for 3 years yet, so we aren't in a position to move.  Sigh, maybe next time, after we go to grad school....

    I can hear the frustration in your post for sure!  I have been there myself and right now I'm about to head off to work for the day and am totally and completely frustrated with my job and the school.  Totally.  Ready to call it a day and find another job.  I dread going in every single day.  I've only been there 3 weeks now.
