Thursday morning this phrase kept running through my head, as I was lying in bed trying to clear my foggy mind from the shackles of sleep.
It wasn't a very good week. I felt especially discouraged with wanting more work but not finding any. On Tuesday I was sent home at noon due to weather. I thought to myself, WHAT is going on??!! The more work I want, the less I have! This is crazy!
Obviously, God was up to something. But He wasn't telling me! Does He have to be so secretive?? And so I fussed and fumed and tried to understand. Two words stood out in my mind. Two words I've heard often. Two words I don't really like. Two words that often make me sigh in resignation, "Oh, that again!"
I'm sure you've heard them, too. WAIT and TRUST! Even though I know it's the best way and God always comes through for me, it's still hard to do.
Well, to make a long story longer...that morning I started thanking God for what He's done and what He's going to do. I remembered the miraculous way in which He brought me my last three jobs and wondered what I was worrying about.
Thursday evening I got a call from Laverne offering me a part-time job at Miller Seed Farms. I was excited! I love wheat harvest and had wished to be more involved. It's not the same as caring for babies, I may get dirty, I may have strange hours (working till dark), but Dolores told me, "It's fun!" and somehow I believe her, so I'm going out to have a party and CELEBRATE GOD'S GOODNESS!
