God Gibbs Smack
As most of you know I am having a hard time getting back to working this school year. I was trying to figure it all out. Those that know me well know that I like everything planned out and like to know every step before so I can plan for it. However, this situation is something I cannot control. I want to know what is going on and what I need to do to make sure I have work for next year. I even talked to a friend this morning about who I should talk to about making sure I got to work. Then came our friend, Nick, teaching BFG. It was like a "God Gibbs Smack" (Nick's words not mine) on the back of the head. Basically it was God thru Nick saying "Wait on me and I will show you what you need to be doing. You can't control this situation and you do not know what is coming next, but I am with you through it all and know what the next step is". I am SO NOT good at waiting and not knowing what is coming next. However, I am going to be open and responsive to what God has in store for me next. I really love what I was doing, but maybe I am not supposed to be doing that anymore. I may have a place somewhere else that I am needed more. We survived before I worked full time and I know God will help us survive again. So, I am going to be patient (as hard as that is for me) and listen for God's direction in this matter. Please pray for me that I will be patient, open and responsive to what God brings for me.

I'm probably one of the best examples to show you how God provides when you wait on Him. I've been, technically, unemployed since November and yet every month's bills have been covered since the beginning. True, there was a car accident one month and this month is looking very tight, but I've waited and looked where He asked me to look, and now I'll be going back full-time in two weeks. And to the SAME JOB from which I was fired. If that's not a God-thing, nothing is.
You can be patient and you will more than "survive". Just dive into His Word and listen to what He tells you. Pray with Mark constantly; God just might reveal it through someone close to you. The biggest thing we're meant to learn is that our one "purpose" in life is to trust Him. To love Him with all of our heart, our mind, our soul, our spirit. Do that, and I promise He will ease the anxiety.
