Blessed

I am blessed. 


I was going to blog a few days ago about how I didn't know what God wanted for my future, but I for some reason felt like I should wait (Holy Spirit FTW?!) before writing. I was troubled with questions like "Where am I going to work next semester?" "Am I really supposed to be a part of the youth leadership team at West Rome? Why hasn't that happened yet?" "What about the summer? Should I volunteer at the hospital or not?" "What? Why? Where? BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH"


I was kiiiiiiind of freaking out a little even though God was clearly telling me to chill out and wait for Him- He's got this. 




I finally was like..... ok. I surrender to you. Do your work. 




BAM. 


Monday, I was introduced to Summer Beach Project. It's 10 weeks in Destin, FL over the summer of working and soaking up Jesus. I'm almost 94.3% sure God wants me there over the summer. (Check.)


Tuesday, I get a job offer for next semester. It's in the same department, but with a different supervisor who loves Jesus and actually enjoys laughter and sweatpants. (Check.)


Wednesday, I accept the job offer. (Check.) 


And today, I had an interview with the main high school leader at West Rome. I start leading next Wednesday. I get to pour into the lives of high schoolers (specifically, 11th grade girls) every week and watch God work in their lives. Needless to say, I'm STOKED. (Check.)


Matthew 6:30-33, THE MESSAGE:

"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met."


God is the ultimate Provider. Waiting on Him ALWAYS works out for our good, and He still gets all the glory. He is worth it.
