Today, my temporary boss asked me for my availability for the next 6 weeks. In my opinion, those were the worst words she has said to me yet. I've been looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, I've been searching for a way out, and now she tells me my sentence has been extended - well into August? I find it very difficult to find peace about this news, and see the good in it. The good in it... is that I get paid more since it is night shift and she has me on 40 hours a week. The good in it, is that I have a relaxing and sometimes down-right boring job. That's about all I can muster up. But the Lord has called me to be a servant. The Lord has provided for me. The bible says in so many word that when you complain about what the Lord has given you, it's like saying his plan for you is not good enough. I do not know better than God. God is in control, and I have to learn to find joy in that, not my unfortunate circumstances. I need to find joy in God, and the fact that he has saved me from a cruel and bitter end. God has provided a job for which I can provide for our small family - and that is what I have been praying for. So, Lord... give me the strength, give me the endurance, give me the obedience, give me the humility, give me the willpower, and give me your grace to exemplify your name, and bring honor to you. I pray that I would live as an example of your word, and in doing so change peoples lives. Thank you, Lord. Amen.
Love, Sara
