For God's Plan not Mine

(I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and finally getting to post it)

There has been so much going on lately, more than the day to day stuff.  Things inside of my heart that are hard to find the words to share.  But the feeling is wonderful, joy and peace mixed together.

There are so many things that are around me in life that seem to be working together for God's purpose.  I'm not sure how it will all be used or how to step out with any of it but I feel God is setting things up for me to grow and serve Him in other areas.

At first I sort of felt a little overwhelmed....yes overwhelmed in the idea of what the Lord is working on with me since its all wonderful but its like a dot to dot and I don't know how all the dots get connected to see the picture that he is making.

my family

My job for instance.  There are a few of my clients that I have that are believers.  There is this one that I look forward to going to help....its almost like going to a bible study.  She is 98 and her faith in the Lord is so strong.  It just pours out of her...

I've enjoyed my job, more than I originally thought.  I enjoy going and helping in any way that I can that will help make things more comfortable for these elderly people.  They each have a story and I get excited to get a glimpse of it.

I was in the right spot at the right time one morning at church to meet a young woman that really needed a friendly face, a hug and some encouragement.  It felt so wonderful to be the one that God used in that moment.  I felt like I was able to return some of what others have given me in my time of need.

Thankfulness--it seems that no matter what is going on around me,  I look for the things to be thankful for.  By doing this it amazingly changes my perspective on things.

God is with me in all that I do.  I have to just keep looking upward while he carries out His plan in my life.

Thank you

It has been fall like weather around here lately.  I've enjoyed it.  It seems that I haven't had much time, or have made the time to write lately.  Things have been going well.  There are your normal ups and downs with life, teenagers, and stuff but the Lord finds a way to bless me everyday. 

For some who have followed my blog for a while now, may realize that there has been a huge gap from all the storms in my life to light kind of stuff with my job.  Its funny how things change directions.  The kids, my step son, husband and I are moving forward again.  God is working and I continue to trust in Him alone.

As I've mentioned in earlier posts, I'm enjoying my job.  The kids are adjusting to the odd times in my schedule at times.  When I'm not working I've been focusing on de-cluttering the house.  That is a process in itself but I'm liking the results so far and I think Micah is happy too.

The kids have been busy with their friends.  Karlee has had volley ball the last two months, the season is almost over.  Things should be slowing down some.

Well I'm going to go for now.  This little post was just to say that I'm still here, growing in the Lord.

I'm enjoying my job.  It doesn't really feel like a job.  It's just me serving the elderly.  It's me helping, assisting and caring for others.  I feel blessed by each client I have the opportunity to care for or help.  They have their stories to share however they are able to express them.  Some can share themselves and others through there surroundings, and family members.  I'm thankful for this "job".  Thank you Lord.
