His Promises Are Sure!!!

Good things are happening all over the place! Finally!....well actually I shouldn't say "finally" because I know if I look closely at my life over the past year that God has been blessing me all along the way. It's just that right now in particular I feel like it's the beginning of huge, dark, black clouds lifting. I told Heavenly Father a few days ago that I could only handle so much more...Perhaps instead I should have prayed for more strength to endure what He would have me endure. Either way- He listened to my plea and He has answered! I have read so many scriptures over the past couple months about "considering the lillies of the field" and how He takes care of them so we should never doubt that He will take care of us. I always felt hope after being led to specific scriptures that were just for me in specific moments, but everytime doubt would eventually loom in and I would start to wonder if I was the exception to all His promises, but the truth is that I'm not and neither are you! He knows what we need even before we ask Him and He will always provide a way for our needs to be met and for us to be happy. Anyway, so are you ready for the good news??? I HAVE A JOB! After 5 months of dramatically wallowing in the depths of despair of unemployment, I HAVE A JOB!!! I haven't been miserable the whole time, but it has been rough due to my doubt and feeling like I don't know what the heck I'm going to do with my life and like I must be THE ONLY COLLEGE GRADUATE IN THE WORLD who never thought about what they wanted to do with their degree before getting it! It never even crossed my mind to determine that...wierd. But all is wonderful and well in the end and for that I am eternally grateful! He has made up for what I lacked all along the way. He has been so good to me when I have been so doubtful of Him. He has loved me when I was so unloving toward Him. I still don't understand why things have turned out the way they have in my life thus far, but we can all hope that I am finally learning to trust. So now I am an employed woman at a local bookstore...still no idea of where this train is going, but trusting the conductor to get me where I need to be=) I love books so it should be a lot of fun and hopefully I won't spend my whole paycheck there! oh and the other good thing...my perm is settleing down...I thought I was going to have to shave my head, but I think prayer has helped with this miracle too=) Thank heavens, or I wouldn't even be able to show up to my job with out a really big hood to cover up one of my lifes biggest mistakes (besides wiping with poison ivy- that's a whole other post-or not=)
