Chhhhanges:-)

Do you ever look at the doubt in your life and wonder why you act like a stupid Israelites? I know I have said this before, but I will say it again....if you ever read through Judges it is like the idiot parade! The mess up, turn from God, suffer, then ask God for help....God saves them because He is their God and they are His people....then some time goes by and they mess up, turn from God, suffer, and call out to God for help....and so on and so on....well here is how I act like an Israelite....I know God id good, i know He is sovereign, and I know He provides....i ask for more faith in these areas, then when i am tested in them I complain and cry and act as if God isn't capable of fulfilling the promises He has set before me.....However, luckily, like the Israelites, God has grace on my life. I have a covenant with Him where He is my God and I am one of His people....and he does provide...i just pray that I down stop acting like an Israelite and stand firm on the promises of God.

How has He provided lately? Well, I am currently writing this blog entry from my new job at Northwestern Law School! That is right, no more restaurant! I have a "grownup" job as I like to call it:-) And everything about the job is an answer to prayer....it is in the pay range I was looking for, it is temp to hire, I will be able to take grad classes with tuition reimbursements, the people are great, the office is relaxed, it gives me time to work on my writing, and the job has variety and isn't boring.....so it took me six weeks to find a job. In the grand scheme of things that really isn't that much time. Yet I screamed and cried and complained like a stupid Israelite!

But that is the past...now I have a choice. I choose to be thankful and recognize that everything I have comes from God and that this job is part of His provision. I put my trust in Him and Him alone. That is where I put my faith.

PS:...speaking of Change....rock the vote....it's election day!!!!!
