Please can anyone suggest what 30's ought to be about?
I think it shoulld be about getting established in what God has for the rest of my life.
But after various university/ part time shop work/ domestic work/ clerical work/ unemployed/ struggling / episodes through my 20s, I've done everything I ever wanted to do and need a new goal / vision/ idea of what job I could do.
Living with parents is not good for my spiritual health - staying put or regressing - I feel I can only move on in my personal life when my situation is moving on. In the mean time I'm waiting - and the longer I wait the harder it will be to get a job - employers don't want people who've been at home for a year or longer.
I am not skilled in any trade, I have no professional experience - just holiday jobs, home publishing, database management, and science research that got stuck because I couldn't find conclusions or write professionally for thesis.
I'm also struggling physcically with some minor and temporary conditions and a hidden disability that limit work environments and times that I can cope with.
Worrying about never getting a job gets me down - and I have dream/ idea about finding some way I can serve God but work for God means I have to also earn a living some other way - doesn't it? I can't go off and volunteer for something when they want 18-25 year olds from big rich churches who can support themselves and won't get sick - not 32 year olds who haven't grown up properly and can't cope with long hours or foreign food or noisy music or vehicles.
