He speaks through others, too

God is so good. It's amazing to me the various ways He has been speaking to me lately. I have been praying that He would reveal Himself to me, and help me to know His will for me. Of course, He immediately reminded me that He is the Light of the world, and that He shines His light when and where He desires, not when and where I desire. Of course, He has also found numerous ways to encourage me.

So I have this interview coming up, and I have been trying NOT to think about it. I don't want to put my heart into it if it's not what the Lord has for me. Of course, any time you try not to think about something, well, you know what inevitably happens. I still don't know whether or not I will get this job, but the Lord is really encouraging me to have a good attitude about it. Tonight a friend stopped me to chat and pray with me. Without knowing it, she completely blessed me and was an answer to prayer. She reminded me that when we are faithful to seek the Lord, He will give us the desires of our heart. That means that when we are walking with Him, the desires that we have on our hearts are from Him. There is a reason I feel uneasy about accepting a promotion at my current job, and there is a reason I really want a different kind of job entirely. I still don't know what the details will work out to be, but I know that the Lord's plans for me are so much better than what I could come up with. I will trust in Him and put all of my hope in Him, because I know He will never disappoint me and never forsake me.

Thank You, Jesus, for Your blessings and encouragements. Thank You for helping me to be faithful in prayer, and to be expectant and patient when it comes to Your hand working in my life. Thank You for the testimonies of those around me who have waited on You and been amazed at the results. You truly know how to give good gifts to Your children.
