• What to do, what to do

  Here's my situation:
  
  I've been applying to jobs all over the place. None of them worked out. As a last resort I applied to McDonald's. I can basically start whenever but the question is whether or not God wants me to work. I already have one job and I've calculated that the job will cover my car payments. But I need to have money for gas, unexpected expenses, Christmas and birthday presents etc. I didn't like the position I was in last year. It was God that I had enough to get by but I guess it's because I wasn't comfortable that I didn't like it. I see different needs in the world and I would like to give to them but my finances prevent me from doing so. I have to pay my car payment from month to month and the money I made during the school year was barely getting me by. I would like to be able to go out to eat from time to  time. (And by time to time I mean only once or twice a semester.) I'd like to be able to go shopping for a few items. I haven't even been able to shop for myself. I sound like such a self-centered snob.
  
  So basically this situation may be more like a faith issue. Do I have the faith that God will supply my needs for this upcoming school year? But at the same time it could be a wisdom issue. In Proverbs 6:6-8 it says:
  "Go to the ant you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer or ruler. She Provides her meat in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest."
  
  So according to that I should be working in the summer, which I am but in order to provide my needs for the fall I should be working another job. The Word, especially proverbs talks about laziness. I work during the day which isn't that strenuous of a job. I answer maybe 10 calls during the course of a 5.5 hour period. After that I go home and chill. I may take a nap and clean my room but other than that I'm not being that productive.
  
  I just don't know!!!
