Do not be anxious.

Its something that I've had to tell myself over and over recently. Do not be anxious. I serve a great God who loves me and can make the impossible, possible.

I've pretty much just been applying to jobs like crazy the past couple of weeks. I know that God is faithful and will provide a job even if its not in the timing/way that WE want it. While praying about it, God has given me a big sense of peace and has told me to wait on Him. He has provided thus far, so there is no reason for me to doubt that He will provide now as well. I admit that it is super scary and discouraging at times. There are times when I feel like things will never work out and Satan tries to convince me that we made a mistake by moving here. I know that this is completely not the case, but that he just doesn't want us here...but its easy to believe those lies. At first, I was wanting to hold onto this and do it on my own but I have given it completely over to God. I just pray that HE gets all of the glory through this whole process!

Some verses that have been a huge encouragement to me (and hopefully can be for you too) are:

"For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He ONLY is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken." Psalm 62:1-2 (emphasis added by me)

"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into their barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"...."Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble" Matthew 6:25-26, 34 (emphasis added by me)

I know I've asked a million times, but PLEASE be praying for this job search situation. Pray that God will provide; and that we can have the faith to know that God will provide. Pray that God will open doors.  Pray that we do not get discouraged. Pray that God gets the glory.

Thanks, friends :)
