thanks James
James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
I need to update... but there isn't anything to update. I ended up turning the LUM job down. I think about it sometimes and wish I could have taken it. But I have to trust that my God will supply all my needs and that wondering, fretting or stressing changes nothing except how I FEEL!
I called and emailed the Blood Center today to find out what's happening. Of course no one could tell me anything. So, in the mean time I continue to enjoy opening the coffee shop and spending those three quiet hours with Jesus. I am getting to know the regulars and will miss them when I have to leave. I cant wait till I have the opportunity to have my own cafe some day. If the Lord wills...
So, I thank those of you who are praying for me. I feel like the only wisdom I have right now is knowing that my hope is in the Lord and I can REST in Him.
I really struggle here in my position at Purdue, it is very dissatisfying, frustrating and trying. But it is a good lesson in self control and the love of Jesus.
Right before I was reduced to half time God provided a part time mail delivery job for Abram. He's really good at it and the people he works for/with love him. So, God supplies our needs but He makes us work for it!!! :)
We feel a little stuck b/c as long as Abram has to work random jobs here and there it keeps him from really putting his foot forward with the real estate investments. but until I get a full time job he has to. and I have to work until he gets the real estate investment going, but he cant until I get a full time job.
Yes, that was supposed to be repetitive and confusing. That's how it feel right now.
I need a vacation.
