I Am Blessed!

Some of you may know that the past months since I graduated have been pretty tough for me. I struggled a little financially because I did not have work after I graduated (but thank God for Joel and my parents, who willingly supported me during that period of time!). I struggled emotionally, as it was hard leaving Arkansas, my home for 4 years, to go to a city that was new to me. And I also struggled spiritually, as I dealt with God’s plan for my future.
During that brief dry spell of mine, I was taught, shown and reminded of many things, one of which is that I am a terrible “life-controller.” In fact, I was reminded that I’m not supposed to be controlling my life in the first place. It was a painful, but fruitful process that I learned (and am still learning) to let go, and let God.
Since then, the dry spell has recently been showered with some “rain”! In the past two weeks, I have been blessed with:
- A new job that would allow me to stay in the US to work for a year!
- Random odd jobs that will provide me with small supplementary income (that is, nevertheless, still income!)
- New friends in Pittsburgh.
- Closer friendships in Pittsburgh.
- A possible new (and affordable!) place to stay in September!
- And.. A FIANCE!
I just want to take this time and credit all these blessings to my heavenly Father. It is by His grace that I have been given all these things!
On to more “learning” now! Ahhhh! God, please hold me!
