these are words seem to be the theme for the past couple months as we continue to wait for jobs. last week cody had a phone interview with a company in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. he has also been in contact with another company in the DFW area. our hope is to hear something relatively soon from one or both of these two companies for many reasons. [could you be praying for these opportunities as well?]
this season of waiting has been difficult for a couple of reasons:
- i
like(love) plans. these past couple months have been difficult for me because i haven't been able to plan the next month, rest of the summer, the fall, etc. - i want to teach like a 9 year old girls wants to meet justin bieber. and some days it feels that my reality of teaching is as likely as meeting j. biebs.
through all of this, i am learning to give my all to the Lord - including all my hopes and fears. i have to be patient in knowing that our plans are already laid out. God knows our path and where HE wants us to work. everyday i have to preach to myself that God is sovereign.
and i'm learning to be thankful in all of this. there are so many gifts God has given me through this season. he gives me gifts of reading His word. He speaks through my husband, family and friends. i have been blessed through singing His praise, and observing His beauty. many days my anxiety is silenced through the devotion Jesus Calling. currently, i am finishing Hinds' Feet on High Places - an allegory based on the journey of a Christian walk. so even though there are some fearful days, God continues to show us His endless love.
