How Great Is Our God

As for what I do for a job, I am searching. Life has handed me a hard pill to swallow, and Daniel and I are praying about where I go next. I was a teacher, and will always be one in my heart, butI am not sure where God wants to use me now, and I want to follow His path for my life.

I am hardly ever on Myspace anymore, but I just happened to pull up my profile on there and actually READ it. This was posted under my "About Me" section, where you usually tell about yourself, including what you do for a living. Well, after the job situation happened, I had changed my About Me to include that paragraph above. As I read it today, I was AMAZED at my clarity of mind in such a difficult time. I am still struggling through this, but I encouraged myself today, reading those words that I wrote all those months ago when the wound was still SO fresh. I was trusting God, no matter what came. Now, in the midst of some bad experiences of being treated as "second rate" because I am just a sub, bills that aren't paid, fears that have to be spoken to daily, and questions I don't know how to answer-I need to find that woman again. The one who KNEW God was going to show up in her situation. She knew that God had a plan and a purpose for her life, and she was willing to accept only that. The battle rages on, and sometimes it's hard to stand strong. But, today...I am reminded of an unwavering faith and trust in God. And of how great He is, and that at the blink of an eye-everything can change. It will happen-in His time, by His strength, for His glory. And I will be what He created me to be.
