Busy Blessed Life

(I am not going to proof read any of this. If I am to journal, I am not supposed to think about grammar at all! So please hang in there with me!)

Life has been an absolute whirlwind these last few weeks. Trying to get my new place organized and put together has proven to be the biggest stress so far. With a leak from the upstairs apartment, new carpet having to be removed and various other minor issues needing to be taken care, I haven't been able to unpack but just a little bit. I really want to get things in their places and feel at "home" but that may take awhile.

Our God is a wonderful and generous god. May I just say that putting all faith in him and trying my hardest to abide by his word has been the most rewarding thing I have found. With this new leap into a new life for me, I have been confronted with financial challenges but, when I gave it to God and asked him to provide he has flooded my life with opportunities right and left. So many opportunities that I know it is Him that is allowing great things to happen to me. What an amazing and might God we serve!

I have been thinking a lot these last few weeks about volunteering at church in the children's ministry. They have just created a new experience on Wednesday nights and I have just felt Him pulling at my thoughts and heart to look into this. Though I may not being what I feel I have been called to do for a job, I am hoping that until God opens that door for me, he will provide for me in others. This may be the path he is taking me down and if it is, I will gladly go. What better place for a baby Christian, new in her faith, to be surrounded by other babies (Elementary Kiddos). Maybe I could learn a thing or two about life? He works in mysterious ways! : )

Though driving to "south side" twice a week has proven to be a toll on my pocket book and a chunk out of my post-work time, I couldn't imagine another place I would rather be 2 nights a week. The people I am surrounded with may be as equally lost as me or even more so, but regardless I have found the best sense of security in these people. They lift me and are more encouraging than I ever thought. There is something to be said about surrounding yourself with people who have "Been There! Done That" or are going through it with you. What an amazing blessing they are in my life, even if they don't know they are.
