How patience pays off... and that He truly is in control of even the tiniest details! I have to learn this lesson about every year.

He's definitely lead me to my new job. It's not like angels sung down from Heaven about how I should apply there... but it just worked out from beginning to end. He's also lead me in my friendships.

Any scripture or other words you would like to share with the rest of the class?

Great questions!! I'm going to answer them in a story of whats been happening to me lately.

God has been especially supporting for me right now. I've been in school for the past while, and I find it an extremely negative place to be. I'm an excessively positive person. It's hard to bring me down. However, after months of being in that negative environment I found myself starting to become depressed... I prayed less, and I hadnt read my bible in far too long, something I always found joy and peaceful thought in. My fiance and I had recently left the church we had been attending since the early days of us dating due to some issues that I wasnt able to resolve on my own. I dont believe that anyone should leave church every Sunday in tears for anything but joy.

Finally I sat down one night when I had a spare minute, and decided to have a nice long bubble bath - something I loooove! I had just finished my last book, so I went into the office to find another book to read and found a devotional book I hadn't yet started. After reading the first one, I just lay back in the water, closed my eyes and talked to God. I realized that I was giving up. I promised myself that I would always be the person I wanted to be, and I wouldnt let anyone interfere with that, but I had gone back on that promise. God told me that it wasnt acceptable. He had helped build me into a beautiful selfless woman who lived her life with the light of God shining brightly around her and that I had hidden that woman behind a dark cloud. I realized I had to take a step back and find that woman.

Later that night, my fiance picked me up and we went to the local ice cream shop for a cone. On the way we ran into one of the couples from our Church. The pastor's daughter and her husband. They joined us for ice cream and we had a chance to catch up.

Apparantly the issues had been resolved, and everyone missed us a whole lot, so will be returning to Church this Easter Sunday (I find that somehow appropriate). I am excited, because I truly missed that feeling of community. The worship, the fun we had in our young adults group. We visited other churches during the time away, but none of them seemed to 'fit'.

God has taught me to not give up on myself, or anything else. He has been so wonderful and patient with me. And cant begin to thank Him enough. I have been a whole new person this week at school, and everyone has commented on how nice it is to have the happy and enthusiastic Nena back.

I've been setting aside time to read my Bible every night. I've made that a priority again. I need my time with God. My time to reflect, to listen, and to rejoice.

God's faith in me has really been a blessing. What else can I do besides have faith in Him?

..Nena..

He has been demonstrating exactly why I need to re-examine who I am, and what my place is in this world. It'd be easy to simply put it off, and I guess He's teaching me through that, also.

To let Him be in charge and hang on tight because He likes to change things up ALOT.

He blesses me every day. I know I am blessed when I wake up and hear my children giggling in their bedrooms and my husband gives me a hug before getting out of bed. I know I'm blessed when I can have a choice of what to make for breakfast because I have food in the cabinet. Oh, the list goes on and one. But mostly lately I am so blessed to have a Lord who lets us make mistakes and then come running back to Him.
