The past few weeks have been a whirl wind for me since I have came home from my internship with New York. I feel as if I can hardly keep up with so many thoughts racing not knowing what is next. The transition to home has been very interesting. There have been joys and there have been challenges. One of my challenges has been finding a job especially because I have never really been in the work world. My experiences I do not regret but its hard to transition into a mindset being on the mission field to real world. If that makes any sense.
I have for one learned a lot this month I have been here as well through this experience. I went from having a job when I arrived to loosing it because I failed the exam. At first I was very ashamed of it but I realize as painful as it was for me this gives me an avenue to those who have lost a job before. I also found this to be a place for me to be challenged to pray for those who have families who have no job.
I can't identify with raising a family because I'm still single but I can't personally imagine the pressure! I am learning to take my challenges as treasures! They don't always feel like treasures but they reallly are gifts because He uses them for our good.
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose
This has been my challenge friend because I have had to learn to remember to praise God even if I don't understand this season that feels like a blur. I can't tell you that I understand how I went from having a job that I thought was really mine then taken away but I can tell you its for His glory! Its not easy to always claim it either because it doesn't always feel glorious not knowing what is next. However, it is all about mindset my friends. So, I propose a question to us both, " Will you choose a joyful mindset believing its good even when it doesn't look that way?"
