I'm feeling a little thoughtful & reflective today. I'm taking the time to think of the things the Lord has done lately. I don't always do that. Most often I hustle and bustle to the next thing or think ahead to plan what I need to get done. Today I was pondering in my heart while driving. God is so good.
Jonathan and I were recently met with a challenge. Something out of our control had been decided and it made a big impact on us directly. It was a negative thing and we felt a little betrayed/hurt. After going through a few emotions, we collected ourselves and DID something. We wrote a letter. The trouble with letters is that you don't get the exact feeling/intonation behind the words. We had to trust that the words would be received in the right way. It was scary, but we left it in the hands of God. You know what? HE took care of the issue. We have yet to know if our problem will be fully resolved, but we feel like the letter made it's desired impact. Thank you, Lord!
Someone else, very close to me, shared a story just yesterday. She was working, and on her way to an meeting that was less-than-thrilling. She was talking it out with the Lord, asking Him to show her she was in the right place, making the right decisions for the future. WELL, let me tell you, He did just that! Someone who observed her work that day said he would like to offer her a job...make it worth her while...AND that they have tuition reimbursement (for that masters degree she is enrolled for already). Even if it doesn't pan out, if she doesn't change jobs, she feels valued and reaffirmed!
Matthew 7: 7-8.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened.
