"The Peace that I give you transcends your intellect. When most of your mental energy goes into efforts to figure things out, you are unable to receive this glorious gift. I look into your mind and I see thoughts spinning round and round: going nowhere, accomplishing nothing." Jesus Calling- May 31
A few months ago I picked up the Jesus Calling devotional at Wal-Mart for about $9.00. I absolutely love this devotion and it has been exactly what I need! Before all the plans started changing I became very convicted about the obsessive need to plan everything out. It was no wonder that my mind was always spinning and my anxiety/worry level was through the roof! My life is not mine own. I chose to do whatever the Lord wanted me to do, but I was the one trying to lead this journey and I was going nowhere. This devotion challenges its readers to give up the plan you are trying to make work and trust God that He has the perfect plan already prepared before us. As hard as it is, we do not need to know the full plan, we are called to trust and follow His leading. These past few weeks the Lord has given me unbelievable strength to step down from my position at school. I LOVED every minute at PVCS and I already miss it, but the Lord has kept reminding me that He has something amazing for me. The trouble is my worry nature has started to set in. Today is our last day at the beach and my mind has begun to drift towards the "what if's?" and the "How's?" that come with our move. Everyone has so many questions about the details and I have no idea. All I know is that God has opened this door and we stepped through it, waiting as patient as we can for what is coming next. I have started the job search and it is kinda frustrating because I do not even know where we will be living! I am looking into finding a part-time Nanny job. I think this will give me a chance to get everyone settled while still making some money. It also helps that I know I will love taking care of a sweet baby! I have applied for a few positions that are 3-4 days a week starting in August, but once again it is hard when I am still living in TN. I would ask that you pray with me as I look for a job.
Thanks for letting me share my heart this morning! I better get moving. I have three little dark kids that are ready to hit the pool! Have a great day!
