| seriously this always makes me snicker but I LOVE IT! |
Life is the mundane, the bitter, the sweet. And then there's the bittersweet.
I experienced some of the latter on Friday because there was a major layoff in my department and I was affected by it. a.k.a. - currently unemployed! Yes, soooo crazy! However, I've learned that while working in the financial field, you kinda have to learn how to roll with the punches, whatever they may be. That said, I'd like to stay far away from the financial field for awhile! :)
A lot of people were sent home early that day. It was an unsettling atmosphere to be in but, you guys. You guys! The peace of God is So Crazy Real. I really cannot put into words all the reassurance that I felt and continue to feel. Ohhh my word. It's like, I just Know God is going to do something sooooo great. Call me delirious or impractical. It's okay. I've been called those before. And I have no idea what's coming next. But I just Know God will come through for me in an amazing way! I'm.... dare I say.... excited!
We had some goooood church on Sunday night. Prayer before service went longer than usual because a new convert was praying intensely for the holy ghost. At one point, I was just thinking about how much he needs the holy ghost to make it through life {and of course, to make it to a favorable afterlife}!
What in the world would I do without the holy ghost in my life?? I'm sure some of my former coworkers thought alcohol was their antidote last Friday night. My antidote was my church's Friday night service and hearing my pastor preach about the sufficiency of God's grace in our lives, all before I told him what happened to me earlier that day.
I'm no Super Apostolic. I am nothing on my own.
But I serve an awesome, amazing God who can do great things if we put our trust in Him and give Him the reins of our lives. Whatever that next door is, He will open it at the right time!

Twin, I'm sorry about your job, yet I'm not, because I KNOW that God WILL provide and do something great for you! I love your attitude about the whole situation. It is amazing what the Holy Ghost does for us and the peace that we can through these times of uncertainty. Thank you for sharing your experience, and I look forward to hearing a great report of God's provision! Love you!
I cannot wait to give that report, whenever that will be!!
Thanks, Twin! Love you too!
Sorry about your job loss, but what a great attitude! God always has a plan. Les taught about God being a God of purpose a few weeks ago. This has stayed with me:
"Since aspects of God are identical past, present and future… God’s future plans are as if they had already been fulfilled."
We don't see the plan, but in God's eyes it has already taken place!
Thanks, Sis. Kathy!!
Aw, wow... that must have been quite the unsettling experience. Thanking Him for peace! I'm believing with you!
Haha, I like that, "dancing in the halls" that can preach ;)
I got a loan yanked so I wont be able to afford school next sem., but I registered for classes anyway; trusting Him for a door! Let's pray & believe on this together, shall we?
Hanna, I have some tuition issues too, thanks to the layoff. I'm gonna be trusting God for Spring semester and I'll be praying for you also! :)
I love that final quote! Believing God with you Jen!!
I am sorry to hear about the job loss...what timing!
Because we know God and what he is able to do, our outlook to bad things are so different. I cant wait to see what God has in store for you!!
Take care,
Sis. K.
Thank you, Kendra!
Sis. K, I'm sooo glad I read these words today, regarding a situation unrelated to my job, haha - "Because we know God and what he is able to do, our outlook to bad things are so different". Thank you!
