Just awesome

The count down is on at work and as of Thursday at 11:30 I will be a free woman! It seems as if God has been bringing me into situations this week to where I realize how awesome and mighty he is.

A friend yesterday confided in me with a lot of issues in her families lives right now. She said something that just lifted me up so much. "They are not my God" She was talking about a situation involving a few people. Just hearing her say those words sent a chill through my body. She ended up saying "Talking about this just gives me a chill" and points to her arms with bumps all over them. I had to laugh cause I was the same way!

Then today I was at my desk working away and silently singing a song to myself (and God of course) when I came across the chorus:

When I’m sad and discouraged from failure,
It seems the whole worlds against me, and everythings wrong.
All I need, for courage is to whisper,
Thank God, for my Christian Home.

As soon as I said those last two lines I could just feel God so strongly that once again I just had those "goose bumps". How awesome it is to feel the living God deep down inside of our souls!

Change

My life at this point is heading in many directions it seems. The place I have worked for the past 3 years and 7 months is about to become a thing of the past. My deepest and most desired prayers have been finally answered!

I put my 2 week notice in this past Friday and had a positive response from HR. My last day is August 14th and my start date as an STNA will be August 18th. I am so thrilled and extremely thankful that I got the job and excited yet scared because this is entirely a new field for me.

I know next Thursday will be bittersweet for me. The coworkers that I have called friends for the past few years will now be people I seldom see. I will no longer see them for 40+ hours a week. Thankfully though we all have texting so the 5 of us will become official texting nerds!

God has definitely tested my patience in all of this. I never thought I would be able to leave my job until after Kevin finish college. I never thought that FTMC would hire me. How wrong was I! Once again God has shown me his glory and all I can do is praise him for his marvelous works in my life!
