Not My Time Frame

 The past few weeks have been a challenge for me as I shared in looking for a job. Its been a very humbling position in remembering to claim joy. This has also been a moment of remembering God is with me! Although it hasn't been easy in transition I can look back at each week seeing where God has provided. I may not have an open door with a job yet but here are some ways my Father has said I am here:

1.  My Church family
2.  A couple asking me to babysit
3.  Transportation from friends so I could put in applications
4. Clean Water
5. A roof over my head
6. Lunch with a friend

I know the list is more but those are the moments I really  am thankful for that I want to take in! I don't know what your struggles may be but let me tell you God is never far. Our answers may not come in our time frame; however we can rest He is working our our behalf. Or so this was my reminder today as I read the Jesus Calling, there were two key phrase that stood with me:

1. I am working on your behalf
2.  If you want to work with  Me,  you have to accept My time frame

 Especially the last phrase because I don't know about you but I love to  move quickly. However, in my case I have been finding myself in having to remember  that the slowness isn't always a bad place. Slowness teaches us to step back to allow God to remind us its in Him we move. No, I don't know  how soon a job will come or if God has another plan but I have the promise He is with me.  I was very much reminded of that from Matthew 1:23 which was the scripture reading tonight from my home church Immanuel as we have been doing Advent.
