So, the past several weeks have been hit or miss, contentment-wise. Some days I wanted to pull every single hair out of my head, make sure Ed and the kids had enough food, and move to a remote island in the middle of the ocean. But then other days, like today, I have been overwhelmed by how faithful and generous our Heavenly Father can be!
For the past 8 months or so, Ed and I have been praying that the Lord would open doors for me to work somewhere part-time. It was extremely frustrating because we couldn't think of anywhere that would let me work while TJ was at school (8:30-12:30)...oh, and have Monday nights, Thursday mornings, and Sundays off. Well, leave it up to God to not only provide something, but go above and beyond what we were asking! As of this morning, I am filling out a W-4 form and have already met with my new employer to go over times that work for ME and MY schedule! WOW! Really??
For the past couple of hours I have racked my brain trying to think of what I could have possibly done that the Lord would bless us with this opportunity. "Really, Lord?!? There are so many people that are more qualified than I am. Why me??" Ephesians 3: 20-21 came to my mind:
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
I feel totally unworthy of this task that has been laid before me and unbelievably humbled by the provisions the Lord has given us!
GOD IS AWESOME!!
