'According to His riches...'

Well the Lord has been doing alot in my little world this past week. I continue to be amazed at His faithfulness.

First off, I GOT A JOB!! It was such an answer to prayer. I wasn't really sure what I was going to do after graduation, but it became clear that getting a full time job and working for awhile is the best thing for me right now. I will probably start some pre-req courses this fall, but for now, I'm just gonna focus on saving up some money. I was feeling pretty anxious because I was having a hard time fonding a job, but someone actually shared a verse with me from Philippians and WOW did it encourage me so much.

'My God will supply all of your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus!'

According to his RICHES! Wow. I know it sounds simple, but man did it give me a whole new outlook on my situation. So Wednesday night, right before I fell asleep, I was starting to feel worried again, so I just stopped and prayed out loud that the Lord would provide for me according to His riches, that He would continue to bless and provide for me, and that He would just bring me a job. I kid you not, I woke up the next morning to my phone ringing-- the company I wanted to work for most was calling me, wanting to schedule an interview!!

Sweet Toledo. That didn't take too long, Lord!

So I went to the interview, and am now employed! It's a home health agency called Continuum Pediatrics. Basically, they send out nurses to take care of children who would otherwise be in the hospital. They're on ventilators, trach tubes, have serious illnesses etc. I will be getting my own kid, and they will be my one patient for as long as I am there, or as long as they need care. They become part of your family. I am so thrilled for an opportunity to reach out to my child, and also the family. And how KIND of God to give me a job working with children! It's what I have always wanted to do, but the chance of an entry-level nurse getting to do anything other than Geriatrics is very slim. But my God provides!

Makes me even more excited for my dream of going to Africa one day and caring for children there.

Well, be encouraged today, friends. The LORD HEARS AND HE ANSWERS PRAYER. I am a living testament to that. Never doubt His faithfulness to you, or His ability and power to provide for your every need.
He is good!!
