Ok, so here’s another blog I’m doing for myself, but my hope is it may touch a heart or give hope to others. In a way, I’m using it as therapy for myself as I and the family take the this journey into seminary.
To give a brief over view, Doug was never a “religious” person, but over time he started attending church where it then lead him to the call to become an ordained minister. Much to my surprise and that of the family. I was raised Catholic, and tried to follow all the rules I was given, but of course fell short of being perfect.
When Doug announced his intentions to attend seminary, I assumed it meant going back to school like an other graduate school. Doug did start on line, and my life didn’t really change. But then things changed and we short sold our home and moved on campus.
I’m trusting God has a plan, as so far my plans have not come to pass. I joined the family officially three weeks ago. I didn’t want to leave my current job until I had something lined up. A job came up but now three weeks later, it’s not working out. Flipside to that, in one to two weeks I can start with the company but under a new job. Bad side, I won’t get paid during this time. Last negative, is the hours are 10 hour days four days a week including all day on Saturday. And my week day hours are 11-9:30.
My faith steps in to say, I’m thankful I still have a job, I’m kinda on vacation and eventually I might get lucky enough for a shift change.
So today I pray for peace, strength and acceptance as I cling to the fact that God is always in control, but is really in charge of the out come.
Grace and peace until another day
I do not believe this is a test but an opportunity. The job got you to move out and be with your family. This new job will allow you to stay. Whatever negative you see in it, God will use to your advantage if you let God. God uses all for God's good and thus for your good, since God never has any plans of harm for you but only good plans to prosper.
