I've always known this wasn't home
From the title you can see that I have been doing some thinking lately. By "this" I mean this world. I've always known it wasn't home but that has seemed more aparent lately. I have had some changes in my life as of late. I finally admitted that my preschool job was not paying enough to make the bills. So I decided that I needed to find a new one. I went in to give my boss a heads up that I was looking for a new job and ended up needing to give my notice. I was not totally prepared for this as I did not have a new job to go to yet. But it seems to be in God perfect timing.
That was 3 weeks ago and I have now been working a temp job for the last week. God has been faithful to provide as I only went one day without working! It is still hard though becuase my last week at the preschool I was really sick and missed a couple days of work. Therefore that last check is not what I planned it to be.
But I am trusting in the God who is not suprised by all of this. He knows what I need before I even ask Him. I need not be anxious about tomorrow becuase fit for tomorrow is it's own problems. But I need only look to the Lord and watch what He is going to do.
This has been hard lately and there have been many times I've wondered how I would make it in this world without Him. You know a precious friend of mine told me recently to remember that in these times of affliction it is not God testing us so He can see what is in our hearts but it is Him letting us know what is in our hearts. It is a call to come to Him and know Him better. That has been proven true in this time He has shown me so much more about His faithfulness, grace, mercy, love and comfort.
Please pray as the temp agency I have been working for wants me to meet with thier regional manager when I come back to talk about a possible internal position. Pray that if this is the path the Lord has for me I would be given favor in their eyes and have a confidence about it.
I hope all is well with you.
