I don't know

I have this week in between. I finished my temp job and have a permanent job starting on Monday.
For the first time in quite likely 2+ years I have what seems right now to be job stability.
The clock isn't going to run out on this job like MAP.
I think I am going to love this job - which might be the first time in ages.
And I have no pending changes - which means I can latch on to this job and dig in.
So what do I do this week?
For the first time in a long time I don't have to feel guilty about what I am or am not doing, or getting done, or whether or not I am hoping in good things or trusting.
Why is it that for believers in Christ the job search is such a guilt issue? How do we look for a job, deal with rejection, and wait on the timing of the Lord - with HOPE? How deeply is God involved in our daily lives? (Big question for this thing) How much do we want him in our lives. If we don't get a job is it really because He has something better out there?
I have had my share of totally crap jobs - does that mean God wanted me to have them? Were they God's best for me? What does that say about me?
And in the case of employment in the Christian sector - 2 Christians up for a totally stellar job -
how does that work?

Anyway - good luck - it has nothing to do with luck - but with this God that we are to hope and trust in.
