I have no job and desperately need one but I can't just accept anything. I want what God has for me. I just don't know where to go from here. (After reading my background info., can someone please give me some suggestions?)
Background info:
I have one year of college education which I hated. Love to learn but hate the way they teach. (Of course it probably would have helped if it was a Christian school but I have none near me that I would like to attend and don't like the idea of internet courses.) I have two years experience at a home daycare. (Which I didn't love, but loved aspects of it.) I am pentecostal. I have a home church but it is small so they don't have resources for me.
I love to talk about God. I love to be there for others. I also love the idea of some sort of woman's ministry. I love children. I've taken all the personality/job tests. They all say the same thing: Teacher/preacher. That's all fine and good but I just can't seem to find the where and how.

I live in Michigan. I've considered being a teacher's assistant but Christian schools are hard to find. I guess what I'm looking for is an "outside the box" idea.

I'm NOT being negative. I'm just looking for creative ideas. A non-normal job description hopefully in the field of ministry or teaching. I just know there is someone out there who has an idea or knows a company/church that does things a little different then the norm.

I don't want to leave Michigan it's where my two families are. (My boyfriend's family is awesome!)

Am I being imature in hoping to work for kind people? I mean I know I'll always run into people that I don't see eye to eye with but I would like to think there is something (anything) out there where the people are either kind or sort of fun to work with?

West Michigan job market expected to grow
http://www.mlive.com/news/grpress/index.ssf?/base/news-30/1150210127136010.xml&coll=6
"This region has the healthiest economy in the state, and the outlook appears relatively rosy for future hires. That's the consensus of Manpower Inc. and its analyst, Joe Ross.
"Michigan's got two economies right now," Ross said. "One is West Michigan, and the rest of the state."
Ross sees it this way: "If it were a summer movie, we would call it 'Revenge of the West Side,' " Ross said. "West Michigan still is the bright spot in the entire state.""
Industrial market shows promise
http://www.mlive.com/business/grpress/index.ssf?/base/business-3/1152197660263330.xml&coll=6
"Donald Shoemaker, principal for Franklin Partners, said he bought the Siemens Dematic facilities, 4147 and 4247 Eastern Ave. SE, because the regional market has been strong.
"We're asked all the time, 'Why would you go to the worst economy in the nation to do business?' But that's with the east half of Michigan added in," he said.
In West Michigan, the outlook and demand are considerably different than the Detroit area, he said."
East meets west

You have a world of opportunity at your fingertips. You can stay in Michigan, but consider thinking outside of the book. If you have a gift in teaching, then you should be able teach people in any copacity. When I have taken the personality test, I scored very high in administrative. I could think only secretary, or filer. Instead I have a degree in Medical Transiption and I am a leader for a local group that ministers to women. Remember that wherver you are placed, you have been called there. Consider reading The Purpose Driven Life or Finding God's Will.

Seems to me that god is telling you something.
You know deep down the path god has laid out for you.
You will never feel whole unless you walk THAT path.
God wants you to teach and preach.
Who daoes that? I know, teachers at a christian school.
Go to BIBLE college. Get a degree in MINISTRY. APPLY at a local christian school, and get started, The only road blocks you encounter will be a test of faith, place youre faith in god, and all will be right.
God doesent give you a path to walk, without a light to guide you.
Follow the light.

Look up ST. Leo's college. It is in Florida, or the main campus is and they have satellite schools all across the United States. You have to have At least an AA degree but once you have that you can join the Piece corps and they have want you want, and a plus or perk to that is the experience you gain there will help you gain better employment in the real world as well. I hope this helps you. My two cents worth

even although i have not in any respect been on your footwear, I hate it how human beings continually blame the different woman. it really is that double-timing piece of excrement that could want to sense undesirable, no longer you. perfect component you may want to do is sense sorry for the undesirable woman who invests in a relationship with him and pray you not in any respect fall in love with truly a kind of.

You need to give it all to him.
Tell him you are wanting and waiting for what his plan is in your life.
Ask him to open a door so that you can start fulfilling your plan that He wants for you.
And be patient and don't give up.
God wants us to be persistant in what we want, and in our faith!
God Bless You, friend!
Don't worry, you will find what you are looking for.

A flood hit and the Man was on the roof. A boat can by, the Man said no thanks GOD is going to save me.
A bigger boat came by, the Man said no thanks GOD is going to save me. Finally, a helicopter came by, the Man said no thanks GOD is going to save me. The Man Drowned. In Heaven, the Man asked GOD, why didn't you Save Me?
GOD said I sent two Boats and a Helicopter.
