God's Plan

The past 24 hours have been some of the most confusing, emotional, tearful, and best ever. Now, to explain that:

As you know, I got a job at a restaurant last week. I have done a few days of training and was feeling uneasy about it for numerous reasons, some of which I still don't understand. There was just something beyond the typical new job stress and uncertainty that made me not want to be there. I have been praying a lot about feeling calm and confident while at work and yet there was still something that felt off. But I need a job right?

God has really blessed us recently with the fact that Troy will be able to work during March (typically a hiatus month for the tv studio). There is the good possibility for me to work at the studio for a few weeks and in the fall for about nine weeks which would greatly help our savings out which would be cool. We were able to find the apartment that we liked and fit our budget, everything was falling into place in our plan. But that's the problem, it was OUR plan. GOD'S plan is not like our plan.

This morning Troy and I had a long, emotional talk about what was going on and what God was trying to teach us/show us through it all. Without boring you with all the details, the long and the short of it is that I resigned from my job today. We prayed about it a lot and felt at peace with the decision, although we aren't sure where God is taking us from here.

We will still be moving in two and a half weeks, unless God changes that too :-) and we have figured out the finances and know that we will be fine with me not working for the next five months or so (although the job search begins once again). It is interesting to me that we found an apartment that we can rent without me working because I got a job and we started looking for one, and that we got that apartment at the price we did at the very end of them offering it with so many incentives. God works in mysterious ways that we will never understand.

Through it all we know that God is the one in control, not us, and that his plans are better than ours, even though we have no clue what those plans might be. Please pray for us as we continue to seek God's will in our lives and the plan that he has for us.
