Coping mechanisms

So. I didn't get that job.

I'm not gonna lie....I cried.  It's not so much that I thought to myself  "this is my dream job!!! Finally!!" although the job would have been really sweet!! It's just, WHAT am I supposed to be doing?! Why is getting a new job proving to be the most difficult task EVER! And I worked so hard on my cover letter, my resume, phone calls, preparing for my interview, my follow up email......and then: nothin.

But it's fine. I will stick to what I said in my last post: I praise God if it works out and I praise God if it doesn't. I trust that God has a path for me and it will become clear in His perfect timing. Just have to continue being patient. (have I mentioned patience is NOT my strong suit?)

So what do I do when I'm sad? A number of things but most of them involve food. I eat food. I bake food. I throw food. (well, not really. Ok, once.) Tonight I choose to bake: Zucchini Tater Tots! My old self, who was way less concerned about sugar, calories, or longevity of life and also 40 lbs heavier, would have chosen to bake delicious cupcakes! BUT I am in way too fragile a state to have such temptation near me, which is why I opted for the Zucchini Tots.

I found a recipe on Pinterest that I've been meaning to try for a while!

Sidenote: WHERE would we be without Pinterest?! I mean, the clothes! The recipes! The WEDDING IDEAS!! I ask you again: where would we be?

The recipe was super easy and they turned out really well!!

If zucchini is your thing, you should totally try it: Recipe for Zucchini Tater Tots

Tomorrow is a new day! I'm thankful for my current job, my encouraging husband and friends, and mostly for God's unfailing love and grace.
