God is a miracle worker that's for sure! I have seen his hand at work in the last two weeks! That new song from Newsboys has been in my head a lot the last few weeks. My God's not dead he's surely alive! No, I have never thought God was dead, but I see him moving in my life!
I am going to start at the beginning and try to show you what I've seen. At the women's retreat I was asked if I would like to give testimony at the women's bible study Tuesday mornings. I said yes on one condition... If I didn't get a job at TC trading where I just applied. They were supposed to let me know right away. A week came and went and I herd no news. I fell into a darkness that week. Everything felt hopeless and I felt lonely. I threw my joy journal across a desk and then buried it with papers. That thing was dumb there was no joy. I didn't want to look at it. It's as if I were mad at it!
Finally it was the night before I was supposed to give my testimony and I had no idea what I was going to say. What I was going to share. I prayed. I prayed for two things, I prayed that God would give me the words to show his glory in my life and I prayed that someone I felt safe would show up for my testimony so I wouldn't be as nervous.
That morning came and I had nothing planned, I had nothing prepared. I knew that when I got up to speak it would be God's words. Right before I went up to speak, I saw a friend slip into the room and sit down. My safe friend! Answered prayer number one. I walked up there and I just began to speak from my heart. I shared how I've always known God I shared about the wonderful things he's done for me through hardships. The few times I got nervous I would focus on my safe friend and pretend I was only talking to her. After all I have shared many of these things with her already. That made it much easier.
The women in the room prayed for me to get a job. They prayed for God's will in my life.
I came home that afternoon and NO sooner had pulled into my drive way, my phone began to ring. It was LOGOS!! Back story, I have been wanting to work at Logos for a long time. It's a great Christian company. You can really grow there. I knew people that worked there that loved it. One of my best friends works there. It's just amazing. I had been applying almost every month.
SO I was OVERJOYED to have an interview. I called my friends to share. Prayers were already being answered!! Awesome!
Later that day TC trading company called and offered me a job. So at the end of the day I had an interview at my DREAM company and a guaranteed job some where else. I HAD not been expecting this! Yikes now what? I asked for 24 hours to think and pray....
The next day I went in for my interview and left feeling pretty good about it. So some more prayer... I called TC Trading and confessed that No I didn't have the job at Logos but it looked good and it was my dream job. I wanted to wait for them. I apologized to them, but I didn't want to start working for them and leave. They were so understanding.. They wished me the best of luck. I look at this way now someone else has a job with them who might not have had a job before.
So another week went by a very hard week, I lost a beloved family member. My sweet Aunt Monkey. My heart was broken, I never did get to say goodbye and I couldn't be there for my family. It's a big loss for that side of my family! I don't think we've really lost anyone since Granny died when I was a small child! It's still hard to process! Also during this time my Uncle BJ had a heart attack!! Scary news! I just lost an aunt. I was scared to death I was going to lose my amazing Uncle BJ. He's been a huge part of my life. He's the one that I can always count on. He's amazing! After a triple bypass surgery he's doing good! Praise!
Now during this week of hard family problems I find out that I get a second interview at Logos! That's a great news!!
I continue my week and get to preform in awesome play! I get to spend time with an awesome friend, one where that when ever I spend one on one time with I feel encouraged and grow just a little bit more. It's hard to explain, but it's true.. God really gave me another amazing friend in her. Just like he did with my Jenny.. I can FEEL his love for me pour out through them!! So these things I wouldn't have been able to do if I had been working at TC.. (See everything is on God's time)
Today I am happy to announce I am now a new LOGOS employee!
A chapter of my life is now closed, my faith has grown so much in this time. Now I get to start a brand new chapter.
So with the ups and the downs... Everything is PRAISE Worthy... My joy journal is getting a work out these days. I have a very THANKFUL heart right now. Praise to GOD... This is all his Handy work..
He's living on the inside roaring like a lion!!
AMEN!!!
