I cannot believe that it has been a week since I last wrote here. Many things have happened since then. Early Tuesday morning my grandmother passed away. She was struggling with cancer. She is in heaven now with my grandfather and many of her relatives. We left on Thursday morning and traveled up for the viewing and the funeral. It was a sad time. During that time I received an email from my job. They asked me about hours that they would have for a full time position which I applied for that would come with health benefits. God provides. I haven't heard back from them after my response, but I know God will give me the position if that is what He has in mind for me. The Lord is the Great provider. I have to get ready to watch my aunt now and get ready for the day. God Bless.

An Answer but not the answer.

I received an answer from the CEO of my company. He said that he could not get me health benefits and that it would be like giving me a fifty five thousand dollar raise. The Lord will provide for me though. I put my faith and trust in him. I thank him for everything. Next week I start spring break, which will be wonderful. The Lord knows our needs and He will supply.

Waiting on the Lord

-A seagull picture I took last summer.

I read a great devotional today on "Our Daily Journey." It was based on Saul's disobedience to God. He contacted a woman to try and bring up Samuel because God was not giving him an answer in the timetable he thought he should have it. This devotional which is based on First Samuel chapter 28 has really touched my heart. I am still waiting to hear from the CEO of my company about health insurance. I also haven't heard anything back from any of the full time jobs I applied to last weekend. I begin to get frustrated and wonder if God cares or is going to do anything to supply my needs in that way. This devotional I read this morning really spoke to my heart. I want to work on not grumbling and wondering if the Lord is going to answer me. Praise God for the devotions he gives us to touch our hearts.

no reply

Well, I have received no reply from any of the jobs I applied to this past weekend or from the ceo of my company about obtaining health insurance. I have faith in knowing the Lord does everything in his own time. Today I have a chiropractor appointment. I am looking forward to it because I am really due for it.

Monday....What a day. I will praise God though. Yesterday I wrote a letter to the CEO of my company and explained my situation. I need health benefits. All I could do is try. If the Human Resources manager said no, I have to at least give it another shot before I throw in the towel. The Lord will suplly no matter what happens though. Whether I have to go to a new job and get benefits or if the Lord plans on keeping me where I am at, I will have faith in his plans. Sometimes it is hard to wonder what is going to happen. It is soothing to know that God knew all that would and is happening long before I knew what is happening.

waking up

I just woke up this morning and am going to go to church soon. I am drinking my coffee right now and pondering on what I can give to God at church. I feel like I don't really have anything to give him, but I know that is wrong. There is always something to give God after all that he does for me. I have a lot on my mind lately. I have put out a lot of applications and resumes to find a job with benefits in the last couple of days. I know the Lord will provide for me as he has in the past so I should have a giving heart towards him to give back what he has given to me. I might write after church to post some of the things I learned in service today.

Winter Time

The picture is from the blizzard a few weeks ago!

I woke up this morning and there is snow all over the ground again. It is really beautiful, but a lot of work when I have to get ready to go out. I am so thankful to the Lord today for my family. My mother, father, sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I am also thankful for friends and doctors. I know that Lord will provide. I pray that when I am work later today I would treat others with extra kindness like the Lord shows to me.
The snow is still falling. I have a chiropractor appointment soon. I woke up early to get ready for that. I love to enjoy my coffee, and the rule is no coffee two hours before appointment. Hence, I am up early to drink coffee to fit in that two hour time frame before I have my appointment.
Have a good day everyone!
