Sometimes I can’t believe how good God is and how he is working in my life. I had been praying about a job since I quit my job last November, I wasn’t feeling led to go out and apply for jobs, but I knew that at some point I needed one. The time off couldn’t have been more perfect. Seeing where the company I worked for is and has done since I left makes me so glad that I left when I did. And when I quit it was like a huge weight off my shoulders. It just wasn’t what I needed, the work I did was not appreciated, it was just added upon, there was no flexibility or understanding of the time needed to be involved in the ministries I feel called to. It was time to get out of there and I am so glad that I did.

So I have been praying about a job ever since that time and this summer my Aunt asked me to work for her Abstracting company. I took the job on a trial basis for a couple of weeks, filling in while my Aunt and Uncle went on vacation, and house sitting for them. I found out that I really enjoy the work, the hours are flexible, the pay is good, I get to work with family, there’s lots of potential for expanding my skills, and I feel that this is exactly where God would have me be at the moment.

On top of the exciting news about the job, I will be starting online classes in Elementary Education. I have come to the conclusion after several years taken off after high school that it is important for me to get a degree whether or not it is used as a career, it will always be something to fall back on. I love kids and want to home school my own kids someday so this seems like a perfect fit. The other thing I decided was that I don’t want to go into a future marriage with college debt, so I am on a part time schedule which allows me to pay as I go and not take on any loans. I started working on a Budget this month that will hopefully be implemented starting September so I can stay on track. It is more tracking where I spend my money than anything and being a good steward of what I have been given, cutting back my spending on areas where I tend to over spend and the like.

I could go on and on with cool stuff God has been teaching me and doing in my life. What has God been doing in your life lately?
