So this morning I was reading about Solomon and how instead of asking God to give him wealth, power and fame, he asked for wisdom when he became the new king of Israel. And I thought, what if I asked for wisdom? Would my lack of employment concern me less? Would I stop freaking out about how to pay for the kids' college in the fall? Would I value the days more? Focus more on what I can influence and less on what I can't? Stop getting annoyed because my kids didn't call me this weekend? Well, there is no hope on that last one but otherwise it seems like asking for wisdom is a good idea.
So I asked God for wisdom. And the first thought that came to me is that maybe a really good use of my time now is to focus less on myself and more on others, starting with my husband. There are only so many hours of a day a person can spend on job boards and sending networking emails. I feel wiser already.
