Recently, I have been dialouging with a friend about jobs and work and such.  Her latest question was, “Are you looking for something in particular for now or just something…?”  Well, that question just kind of struck me and I thought about it for a couple of days.  In responding, I feel like my eyes were really opened to God at work.  I just thought I would post it here, if God intends for someone else to read it.

if life were simple, I could simply answer our questions…as to what I am doing. I have been asking that question since before I left Cru. Seems that God is content in not making it clear what I am supposed to do. Instead, I take these jobs that might be interesting and then realize THAT is NOT the job I want to give my life to. So, then I move to the next one. Actually, recently I have started to understand that it is building my Trust (or could be) in God providing for me…like it isn’t so important to do something as it is to trust that He will provide and take me where HE wants me to be. That is why I keep looking at a lot of options and then waiting to see where I might be led. This can sometimes be really frustrating and confusing and financially difficult, but I do believe that it is developing me…even is Trusting his financial leadings. It seems I always end up with what I need, when I need it.

Well, if that seems like a crazy answer, try living it :-) But as I sit here, writing, I am in a great little coffee shop I stumbled upon. A “Christian” gal owns it and they are always playing K-love. The song playing now, is Chris Rice’s “Come to Jesus.” A song about Trusting in Jesus even when the “skies are filled with clouds.” That being said, life can be crazy (and a person can have days like I had yesterday that are filled with frustration and anger) but God has His ways of letting you know that He is working. His plans for me are still happening.

In the midst of writing, it felt like my heart was really bursting with understanding of what seems like craziness for the last couple of years.  After writing, I am only sure of one thing, “I still don’t understand it all, but I do see  a little more clearly.”  If you are reading this, hopefully God has encouraged you that He is working in your life (even if you don’t know it, understand it or want it.)  He has something great for you and will lead you to it, if you be open to HIS ways.

 May your day be blessed!
