My last blog was on May 4th and it was all about feeling humbled. As most of you know so much has happened since then and it's been amazing. Don't get me wrong, I am still feeling humbled but I am also feeling grateful, encouraged, blessed, but at the same time nervous and guilty. Let me explain. Right before we left for vacation at the end of May I had two interviews. One at a veterinarian hospital (which I knew I was totally under qualified for) and one at a furniture store (sales is all I have ever done). The day before we leave I get a call from the vet hospital offering me a job!!! I was so excited I had to use all my will power not to scream with excitement. As soon as the vacation was over :o( I started this new job. I can't remember the last time I was that nervous. It's been a few weeks now and I seemed to have settled in nicely. To be honest I was really surprised I never got a call from the furniture store. I have always thought that I (please don't think I am conceded)rock at sales. But hey... what to I know. Yes it took a long time for me to find a job and yes this means that I would not be home with Joshua but God has been so good to us. Since it is the summer we have been blessed to have girls from our youth group come over and watch him. They love him and I like the fact that I can come home for my lunch and spend time with him in my own house. Also Josh has been spending a lot more time with him and I have seen their relationship grow and am overflowing with joy. Yes there are times when I really miss being home, but I know that if I can work hard now it will be better for our family in the long run.
One thing I really prayed hard about was when the right job did come along I wasn't just counting down the days when I would be done. "one down 481 days to go" or whatever it's going to be. I knew that if it was like that then it would feel like it was taking forever to be done. At this point, it's not like that at this job. I really like it and I feel like I am catching on very quickly. It's so busy and there is always something to do, I don't have time to sit around and be sad I am not home. God knew exactly what I needed and even though it took longer then what I (as a selfish human) would have wanted, everything is working out great.
God is so good!! I really can't say that enough! He really is! He is true to His word when He says that He is and will always be faithful If you have found yourself in a tough place, just know that the Lord has not forgotten you. He is there and He cares. As humans we do foolish things but he forgives and He is faithful.
1 Corinthians 1:4-9 I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your knowledge— because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful
