I Guess I'm on My Own Here

I had a dream last night right before I woke up. In the dream, I was on a river out in the middle of nowhere. It was early winter from what I could tell as there was a little bit of snow on the ground and tree branches and the air had that crispness to it. And when I say I was "on" the river, it would be more appropriate to say I was "walking on" the river. It's funny how natural that felt. It certainly felt natural enough for me to say "I don't know why people making a big deal of Jesus doing this - it isn't that hard." I know I could go online, search for "dream walking on water" or something to that effect but, frankly, I don't need to. It was a nice dream and I'll read into it what I choose to.

The weather outside right now is incredibly reminiscent of Portland - grey, misty and cool-to-warm temperatures. I've been looking on LinkedIn for jobs in Portland with the idea that I could find something that would allow us to move out there without the requirement of Alissa needing to work. So far, I've applied for a few positions and reached out to a few recruiters but have received minimal feedback. It's a goal I have - to be closer to family - that is driving the search but my attempts to lock something down up to now have been minimal to make that goal a reality. How do I break through, get noticed, find something I really want?
