Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
I decided to post this blog because one day I want to be able to look back and say "wow. Look at how God lead my life. Look at how He provided for me and took care of me."
So here it is. I am about to enter the summer without a job. The reason why this scares me so much is because this will be my first summer in 5 years that I have not worked at a summer camp all summer long in Florida. On top that, I have to raise over $2,000 to pay for my school and insurance payment by the end of August, and I'm having a hard timing finding a job.
I am also looking at graduating in 3 semesters and I have no idea what career to go into. All I know is I want to have a job where I am helping people all the time in some way, shape, or form; but oddly, many careers like that require further education which I can not afford. I'm also frustrated because my culture now pushes for women to have a a full time career. But I want to have a family. I want to be there for my husband and kids. If I'm working all the time; it will be really hard to have enough time for both.
So now that all of that is out there, the Lord has really really been teaching me to trust in Him ALL the time. I have literally been clinging to His promises.I know that He is going to work things out and like Oswald Chambers said: "When we are uncertain in all our ways, we usually express a sigh of sadness; but it should be an expression of breathless expectation." I may be uncertain of the next step, but I am certain of my God. This is the attitude I want to have...to look at the uncertainty of life with breathless expectation of what the Lord is going to do.
Psalm 73:26 "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
