Super Sunday is over and Monday is here and so are the thoughts of hunting for a job all over again. While the unsureity of gaining a job today is swimming around in my head there is something else stirring, the desire to be devoted to the scriptures. I needed something to ground me today and help me stay focused as is see little money coming in and a test of faith ever in front. My kids are sick and I didn't sleep very well and I could sense that I would be cranky this morning when they wake up.
I love reading the bible because it helps me understand that in these troubling times and my uncertain life, God is always there to help me see glimpses of his plan. Today i see that no matter what is happening I have to stick to the truth's of a life with God and aspire to maintain/ gain these qualities:
1 Timothy 3:8-10 (New International Version)
Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
I want these qualities to ring true in all areas of my life and I need everyone's help in obtaining them. The qualities come with testing and (I feel like I'm being tested) and with perseverance. The quality that speaks the most truth to me today and for the past few weeks is "Not pursuing dishonest gain". Its hard not to think about things in my past when I had no conscience about people or their feelings and all I wanted was to preserve myself and my lifestyle. dishonest gain was a continual outreach in my life.
Today please pray for me to seek HONEST employment and HONEST work that I may be a leader of my family and an inspiration to all those who read this blog. I'm going down to PG&E this morning (possible career change) to see if they will hire me as i was informed that they are hiring some installers. This is honest work and may possibly bring income to my family.
~Talk to me~
