I find it interesting what happens when you open your heart and mind to God and His plan. When you stop being the humans we tend to be, and just accept God's plan. I have been looking for a job for the better part of three and 1/2 years. I have applied for every position I could at the college (that is where I would realy love to work). I have not gotten any of them. When I would find out that I had not gotten the job, I would be upset and perhaps a little depressed about this. It seemed that my world was not inproving. That I could not do anything right.
Yesterday, I was talking to a friend about my upcoming plans and I discovered that it has all been God's plan. I realized that if I had gotten any of those jobs ( especially the ones that were full time) I would not have been able to attend school and get the degree I need in order to do what I want to do in life. God's plan must be for me to get this degree. I have decided that school in going to be priority for the next couple of years. I will work part time ----somewhere--- to accomplish my goal. Having realized this, the disappointments seem trival now. Sometimes hindsight is the blessing God gives us to appreciate the things we go through. With this hindsight came a added degree of peace. I already had a peace about my future but now I have a higher lever of peace mixed with some understanding and acceptance. All of this helps as I approach a time in my life when I do not have a job. But I know that God will take care of me and He will provide what I need to persue my dreams.
What a blessing!
