Say What Part 2

God still continues to work in very mysterious ways. If anything I've learned how to wait on the Lord, put my trust in the Lord and realize how much control of my life I'm not giving to the Lord. This whole job thing and internship deal has been (and still is) a lesson on obedience, trust and control (or lack there of). Not getting the job threw me for a loop because I've never been turned down for a job. This was rather humbling and in my inferior wisdom I saw that, yes, God does know better than me what is best for our lives. Then for internship, I thought I might have solid daycare two mornings a week so I could put in two full days and three half days. This would allow me to graduate with 1000 hours so I could also get my license as a counselor, but alas, God once again showed me HE is in CONTROL and not me!! My daycare fell threw and now I will only be interning 5 half days which will leave me with about 860 hours which is just enough to graduate with my school counselor certificate, but no license. I am finding that THIS IS COMPLETELY OKAY even though it was not MY plan or will, it is GOD'S and that is what matters. I feel at peace with everything, not anxious or wanting, but knowing that God will complete the work HE has started and not leave it void. God is good all the time and praise the Lord for that. SO, all this to say that our ways are not HIS ways and God knows what's best even if we try to tell Him it's not. I'm learning to give control to God and let Him lead my life instead of the other way around. Hard lesson to learn.
