it's a pleasure seeing God work in lives

As a little girl I can remember times when I would see my dad working something and wonder what it was. I never understood why he was doing what he was doing but what ever it was it worked and created something beautiful in the end. like repainting the inside walls of the house or building a tree-house in the tree of our front yard, etc. My dad was busy. Now just like watching my dad work I love watching God, my Father, work only I never know He's working till way after the fact.

Coming home I was looking for a job and had no idea where I was going to find one. I was home for a week and was very frustrated and bored just sitting around the house with nobody home but me. it was lonely...so I began my search for a job. In my head I planned to be searching for like three weeks to find something that I wanted to apply for and then a few months after that I would have an interview and from there was a blur. instead I had jobs opportunities handed to me. I had told some friends about my looking for a job and she went right to the newspapers. I didn't take them to seriously but thought that I would take a chance on them and apply any way. I applied to Wendy's in my town and have been going through training for the past two weeks. Then earlier I got a call for an interview for Comfort Keepers. I could also watch a little 3 year old girl during the week. Just today I got a call from a Day Care that I wanted to work at and a message that I can call and have an interview! the job hunt only lasted about a few days. God is incredible and beyond words worth trusting!! It is proven again and again to me each time better than the prior time.

Also Just seeing God's love, care, comfort, trustworthiness, faithfulness, being my best friend through the trials with my parents divorce and mother's remarriage. I remember Dave Percy saying "the only way to see God as love is to be put in a situation where we most need love". I didn't understand what he meant when he said it a few months ago but I do now. when you are placed of need you run to a place of refuge, my place being The Rock or Ages. I'm in a period in my life where I can see my need for love and have taken the "chance" on God. He more than exceeds what I was looking for. though I hate the situation terrible I am in awe and filled with joy to see God working through a sinners life to make it something that He gets glory from and finds pleasure in. I'm made a good choice!

Thanks for tracking along with me!

1Cor.10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it."
