"Watch that reentry; it's a bit bumpy."-Marty McFly

I thought I should post something about the reentry process. Someone at the transitional retreat, J.C., said it made her feel like she had gone back to the future. I kind of feel like that now as I sit in a sparsely furnished apartment in the midwest working for a hotel. Three qualities that described my life before being a YAV. For my part, I feel really jostled, like riding in a bumper car. I had been living here for a month, trying to put the pieces together to see what the puzzle called my life looked like now when I was laid off from my hotel position. I wonder if I made a mistake coming here to Kansas City. My friends tried to caution me not to be so loyal to hotel companies, that maybe I should look into something different. I didn't really listen, I couldn't think or even imagine what I might do other than hotels now that my year was over. TodayI had interviews with 2 other hotels and expect to hear back tomorrow. It seems I have no other option than to work for a hotel, at least at the moment. I have a six month lease to fill, so I'm not leaving KC just yet. In the meantime, I will be praying, waiting, and watching for the right mission opportunity. That's how I got out of the hotel business the first time. I heard about the YAV program from a friend. I think that sometimes it takes a few tries before you find what God wants you to do. If you don't get it the first time, there's always another chance to change. Hopefully, I will be changing my locale soon.
