Oh, I forgot to tell you about my job!

I was just reading some old posts and thinking about a comment I had from someone and realized that I never mentioned that God provided a job! Strange too, because I knew it at the time I wrote that post!

Anyway, I am working for Global Search Network in Hyde Park (South Tampa). They are a national recruiting firm for executive management in the food and beverage industry. I provide computer and office support for the sales team. It is a good job and challenging. It is a small group, 4 people besides my boss, and one remote sales recruiter. She works from Texas.

I started there (officially) the day after Memorial Day. It still seems kind of wierd to me to be working there. I just never would have thought it.

Of course, we planned to be on the mission field for the rest of our lives and that changed. God has changed our course many times over the years. Who knows what will be next?

I would LOVE to go back to the Mission Field some day. God willing.....

Talk, Talk, Talk

How easy it is to talk about faith and spirituality and how hard it is to practice it! Advise seems so easy when I am giving it to other people, but when I try to put it into practice, it just doesn't seem to be...well, possible!

I can quote Scripture and I can probably find a Scripture for just about any topic you can ask about, but when it comes to MY life, MY trials, My doubts, MY insecurities, all God's promises seem to be for everyone else but me.

Do I sound discouraged? I guess I am. I am battling with accepting things about me, my life, my family, my church, my ministry, my job.

I just thought of something as I was going through that list. I thought about my health. Thank God I have good health! You know the saying, when you have good health, that's all you need! That's all that's important. (They say). I should be feeling just great then. No worries! I wish it was that easy!

This, too, will pass. It just seems like it has been going on for a long time!

I really want to understand and experience "entering into God's rest" like Hebrews talks about.
