Gotta Have Faith

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel like Jesus is just speaking to you over and over!? Well today has been one of those days for me. I mean like in everything that I read and everyone that I speak too, its just crazy! I read several devotions during the day and I can honestly say that each one was about the same thing. I kid you not! That's how good Jesus is! He obviously is trying to get something through to me! Its funny how many times it takes for us to get the hint that He is trying to talk to us daily. Sometimes it isn't this BIG VOICE that calls out to us - but a scripture or just a word that we need to hear.

So if you read my blog yesterday you would know that I stepped down from a position because I clearly heard Jesus tell me that was what I was supposed to do. Well that was a scary thing for me and my family. Losing the pay meant there would have to be a lot of sacrifices from us, which I do believe he asks from us often but it doesn't hit home until we have no other choice.

So this month was the first month without that pay. Can I just testify that God provided everything we needed. Anthony actually had a small bonus come through and then our renters (we own two homes) paid a non-refundable pet fee that came directly to us! WHAT!? Let me tell you something - with those two extra things coming in, it was almost the exact amount to what my April 1st paycheck would have been. I'm totally serious! That's how good our God is! He provides. He shows out and lets us know that he is still here.

He just wants us to have faith, faith that he will provide what we need. But I can honestly say that I am still struggling with what my next step is. I do know that I need another job. My kids are getting older so pulling off the stay at home mom thing won't last too long. Teaching is always something that I can do since I have my bachelors in Pre-6th grade but honestly I do not feel that's the direction I am supposed to take.

But I do know that Jesus has us! He made that all too clear these past few weeks. So I know whatever I am supposed to do next will be something he brings across my path and I will have no doubt that that's where I am supposed to be!

Its such a good feeling when you know you have Him! He has a plan for each one of us; its our choice on whether we are going to listen to Him and go where he tells us to go. I can promise you this, not every thing He asks us to walk through will be easy. Sometimes the path can be a little rough but know that that's where he teaches us!

Have an awesome day and remember who has you!!
