It’s Been A Minute

Uncategorized, , , , ,

Hello all. It has been a minute since I have written anything. It hasn’t been for lack of topics, rather lack time and energy. Good news is, the new job so far is going great. Haven’t learned everything I need to, but it is coming along. I am starting to see the possible reasoning behind God’s plan to move me here.

When I started working at the Church over a year ago, I didn’t necessarily expect to be doing that job forever. After a few months I knew I wouldn’t be staying in that position specifically. I had a feeling God had a different place for me. However, I thought I would just be changing roles, not place of employment. Whenever they told me about the position being eliminated I wasn’t ready. I thought I still had stuff to work on before this point. I thought I would be in that position until time to take on a different role. Yet, now I think I am starting to see God’s plan.

I am now working at the local United Way office as an office assistant. Basically, the same kind of stuff I was doing at the church, but a little more involved. I am getting to go to events and sit at a booth and talk about what we have going on. I get to go to libraries to sign kids up to a free book program we have. I am in staff and board meetings. As like normal office assistants there is the paperwork I process as well. I was put here to get involved in things in the community. I am starting a single mother ministry, how could I be successful without getting into the community. God knew I would need this to reach those that need Him most.

One aspect of this job is the networking. I am getting to know people who give back to the community. I get to know more people in the community. God used the church job as my stepping stone to getting the ball rolling on a new ministry. To see the hole that needs to be filled in His kingdom. I believe that He put me here at United Way for me to grow, and for the vision I have for the ministry to come to life. I am here to make a difference and spread His light and love to the single mother’s that don’t know Him yet, or that don’t feel they deserve His love. I am here to lead them to a church home so that they can come to know Him and to love Him.

We never will know what step is coming next. As long as we step with God, He will lead us down the right path.

“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”
–Proverbs 16:9

A Thursday

Uncategorized, , , , ,

Today started off pretty okay. Went to Lowe’s for a heavy duty utility knife. Sam’s for the best wrapping paper ever and a crap ton of tape. (It’s the holidays, one of the few times of year we go through multiple rolls of that scotch tape.) Picked up my son’s medication at Walgreen’s and still had plenty of time before work. Work doesn’t start until 12:30 on Thursdays.

Well, that means a bowl of cereal and then work on my project. This project is for my S.S. Class’ christmas party. It’s a dirty santa gift! I was proud of myself. Got them shells cut and trimmed down with only a minor cut on my thumb! Before leaving for work at 11:30 my little project was pretty much complete and I was having a pretty good day so I wanted some chicken nuggets. Oh, those golden arches are addicting. God had other plans. On the way, my car quits shifting gears. The Tater is an automatic and I couldn’t even do 30 without feeling like I was going to blow my motor. Instead I went on to work and a couple of guys there checked my fluid and even took it for a spin. Of course with them, Tater drove just fine. (Tater is an x-terra the color of a potato and my license plate says “yam”)

I guess, it is just one of those days. Super glad my car isn’t about die, but I could have gone without that little scare. People may think God doesn’t have a sense of humor, but I beg to differ!! Just remember to have yourself, a healthy sense of humor!!

“He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.” –Job 8:21
