Come on, BE STILL.

Yes, I’ve been a slacker.  Last night as I sat in class I considered writing an entry, but the fact that I couldn’t keep an internet connection long enough to look at the weather discouraged me. Tell me if it makes sense that a student attending ground courses at a school known for its ON-LINE courses can’t get a good connection at the campus? 

In my last post I mentioned that I struggle with being still.  The last month or so has been filled with good examples of this fact. It’s been a flurry of activity around here, and one of the things I’ve been up to is sending out a few resumés.  I sent a few and just stumbled on a job opening 4 miles from my home.  I applied for this job also, and used every avenue I knew of to try to get myself an interview.  Tuesday I went for an interview, and spent the rest of the day fretting off and on about what I would do if I got a job offer from that company before getting an interview just down the road.  I kept reminding myself to be still, do not be anxious, don’t worry, be patient…all that stuff, but if I let my mind wander I was back on “what to do, what to do?”  Finally I just asked God (for about the 10th time) to shut the doors that needed to be shut and open the door He wants me to go through.  And at 4:45 Tuesday afternoon I received the call I’d been waiting for, asking for an interview on Monday morning.

God is good, all the time…….even when I can’t be still to realize it.  Prayer warriors, please pray that God will open this door that would lead to really great things for our family!
