Well I’d like to first apologize for
not blogging as much as I’d like, and secondly I’d like to apologize for
jumping off of my short-lived India blogging train. I’d like to say that I’m
going to get back on board and tell you more but I’ve had a pretty big change
take place just in the past week and I need to get all of this out and see
where it takes me.
“I’m currently unemployed” Those words
strike fear in so many people, myself included. Until I had to say them myself
this week. Call me crazy but I’m completely at peace about being unemployed.
Working at the coffee shop for 3 years was such a blessing, I made some great
relationships, reestablished some old ones and learned a lot of lessons along
the way. Yes it was a minimum wage job with no benefits but I’m walking away
completely changed because of that place and the people that were connected to
it in anyway.
“It is
strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the
Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and
beautiful that He has for us”
Colossians
1:12
For
a while now I’d been praying for a change in myself, I thought for sure that
would happen in India. And it most certainly did, but it didn’t end over there.
The changes have continued back in North Carolina. I’ve reconnected with family
that I hadn’t gotten to talk to or let alone spend any time with in months. I
got to reestablish a friendship with my old roommate when I didn’t really think
it was possible. I’m transitioning into a team leader role on our nursery team
at church. A lot of things are new for me right now but great non the less. So
I wasn’t exactly surprised when I got word that the coffee shop was closing. It
was almost humorous the way that the Lord is suddenly shifting things in and
out of my life. With that being said, I have no idea what is ahead of me on
this path. I don’t know what direction the Lord is taking me. I don’t know what
he wants me to be doing with this season. But I do know that this whole
situation is completely in His hands. My needs are going to be taken care of
100%. A shepherd never leaves His flock so I know that the Lord is by my side
through this, as long as I’m obedient. And in my heart I know that I have been,
that’s the only thing that explains this feeling of peace that I have about
everything. There is a definite sense of excitement in my life right now as so
much is unknown but I can’t wait to see what is up next for me!
This song is my anthem right now thanks
to Anna George. So thankful for her new presence in my life!
