I didn't know just how right I was. My first stop of my planned agenda took me to a friend's campground. On Friday, I got a phone call requesting an interview. On Monday, I interviewed. On Wednesday, I was offered a job. On Friday, I completed my paperwork and hunted for an apartment. On Thursday, I moved into the apartment. On Friday, I started work.
I went from unemployed to an Animal Care Specialist with an apartment that wasn't supposed to be available until mid-May, in just a matter of two weeks. Don't tell me that is not divine provision!
That was all exactly one month ago now. Things have been crazy busy with the adjustment, banking, car stuff, new schedules, 40+ hour work weeks, gradschool, feeding myself and Jade, unpacking, getting my little outdoor dog excercized enough for apartment life, making time for QT, and all that life throws at you during any big life transition. And as I said, honestly, I haven't had time to get excited about this new life....Until now!
I am still barely hanging on in Gradschool, and the apartment if still full of unpacked boxes, and work is crazy as ever while I get tangled in the "ropes" I am trying to learn. But I had a little time this morning where I just surrendered the now. I prayed, "God, I don't know what you want me to do in this very moment, but work your great plan in me. Grow me in relationships here, and in my soul, and create in me what only you can."
Though nothing has changed, I feel a lightness...Like I don't have to just get-by anymore, but that I can start living here and now. And for the first time in a long time, I am excited about the upcoming season. Because I am open to it!
Anyway... I have taken a couple snapshots of the actual unpacked sections of my apartment. More to come I am sure.
