I seriously cannot believe that this day has come. I officially have two weeks of work left. If you would have told me a year ago that today I would be writing this blog, getting ready to leave a job that has been very good to me to pursue an education in a different state where none of my friends, family of boyfriend would be...I would have literally laughed at you.
Isn't it amazing how God works??
This blog post is more a prayer request to you guys. I'm planning on leaving California in exactly 2 weeks and 2 days....and I still have no place to live. I've been looking around at some apartments and even almost had a place to live with three other girls that are also going to New Life, but God closed that door and I'm believing that it was for a reason.
I was always told that when you pray, you should be specific with God. So please pray that God will provide a great place for me to live, that's close to school (so I don't have to use lots of gas), and that is pretty cheap! Right now that is the only thing that I am stressing about.
Daily Devotional Scripture of the day:
“The Lord has hidden Himself from His people, but I trust Him and place my hope in Him” (Isaiah 8:17 TEV).
I was telling Shane the other day that I'm starting to freak out a little about moving. It's all happening so fast and I feel so un-organized about it all. I sometimes feel like God said "Ok, I want you to go to school in another state" and now I'm getting no other instructions from him!
You know how when you were a kid it was always fun to count to three and on three let the other person jump in to the freezing cold water, but you stay on the ledge of the pool?? That's what it feels like God is doing to me sometimes.
And then I read scriptures like Isaiah 8:17, he may feel so far away, but I still place my hope in him.
Just a little lesson for the morning.....Something to get me through the day.
Love you all!
Jess
Hey Jess ... I will be praying for all of those things and more. I am so excited for you. I hope you make the most of this experience and trusting God for everything is the 1st step. Keep the Faith -- We are all behind you 100%...
