In a way, I&#8217;m using it as therapy for myself as I and the family take the this journey into seminary.<\/p>\n<p>To give a brief over view, Doug was never a &#8220;religious&#8221; 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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t really change. But then things changed and we short sold our home and moved on campus.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;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&#8217;t want to leave my current job until I had something lined up. A job came up but now three weeks later, it&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>My faith steps in to say, I&#8217;m thankful I still have a job, I&#8217;m kinda on vacation and eventually I might get lucky enough for a shift change.  <\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace until another day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, so here&#8217;s another blog I&#8217;m doing for myself, but my hope is it may touch a heart or give hope to others.
