GOD!
 
To make a long story short, I will have to give you an example to my ecstaticness...
Have you seen the movie Persuit of Happyness? There's a part at the end that you don't fully understand unless you've been through it like he has. But the scene after he gets the job and all he can do is cry and clap to heaven? Yeah...that's me. God has blessed me with more than I could ask for, because tonight, I was handed an application for permanent employment with my current job! That means I can get my own helth insurance and not have to worry about running out of time on my dad's. Plus, a raise because the temp agency no longer has to get paid, and not to mention other benefits that come along (such as flight discounts, I think)! So as excited as I am, I find myself only to be humbled once more at God's awesomeness! The only bad thing about working night shift is there's no one to talk to and share my excitement with! Anyways, God is good, beyond all measure!

I have a new job...actually, the job I was talking about in my previous entry, yep that one. I can see God's hand in it and to be able to do such a thing, is a true blessing. You see, it took a really bad day at the job I had in order to be ready and willing to do what He was about to place before me. When I contacted the lady about the new job, it was either go in for the interview that day, or I wouldn't get it at all...so what did I do? I went for the interview of course! I knew that if I didn't take a chance, and do something totally illogical that day, since I was already scheduled to work my old job, I knew I would be stuck in a place I didn't belong. In obedience, I listened to God and did what I felt He was asking me to do. He basically said, "if you want this, if you really want this, you're giong to have to do this." So I went and God gave me the job immediately. It is a temp to hire, but with God's grace, I'll be good enough for them to keep me around! I love working there, and it's pretty much the coolest job I've had so far! God really is blessing it! I guess what i like about it most is there is no "small town mentality". You have to be aware of the world, and for me, that's easy. I can't begin to thank God enough...but I really have learned that He desires obedience over sacrifice. He knows what we look for in jobs, friends, spouses, etc. so to just be obedient and not compromise is the key. I've learned to never settle for less than God's best for me, because I might wake up one day stuck in a place not remembering how I got there. And God, he doesn't ask me to be unhappy, just willing...and that may require giving up some things I may not want to, but I know that He will replace it with something much more desirable in the long run!

I'm planning to apply for my passport before this month is up, so that way when I feel led to go on mission, I won't have to wait for my passport.  I've always wanted to be a missionary, but I never knew where, I'm starting to gain an interest in a certain place, and I want to make sure it is the right place.  I had a dream about it, so I'm pretty sure, but I never know with God. There's also a guy interest, and I'm pretty excited about it...seems to be mutual and I can't wait to see where God is going to take it. It's pretty stinkin awesome.  God is too good to me!  Hope He's too good to you!  See yas
