I know, its been a while. I'm not sure anyone is even reading my blog anymore since I've gotten so bad about keeping it up! Sorry! Life continues to be crazy, but I think things are starting to at least become manageable again. Maybe. For now.
I'm teaching Sunday School tomorrow and as I'm preparing, I remembered the Thomas Merton prayer (June 1) that I had posted a while back and wanted to copy it. In looking for that, I came across some of my blog posts from around that time and was overcome with gratitude for where God has me today and how faithful He is. I still don't have a permanent job, but God has taken care of me and provided for me in so many ways.
He has given me a job for the time being which is helping me financially and emotionally.
He has given me new responsibilities and challenges in this job which have provided much-needed mental stimulation!
He has given me the ability to handle these responsibilities well, which has encouraged me and reminded me of the gifts that He has given me.
He has allowed me to do something that is fulfilling.
He has kept me healthy (while I don't have insurance).
He has given me the privilege of serving Him in ministry opportunities at my church in areas that I love and use my gifts.
He has given me amazing godly spiritual leaders.
He has given me an unexplainably solid family.
He has given me some of the sweetest friendships.
He has given me healing from past hurts that has allowed me to take the risk that comes with relationships and because of that He has given me a relationship like none I have ever known.
God, thank you. You are so good to me!
