Pushed

I am grateful for the way God pushes me to be a better person.. to be a stonger person. I love that he challenges me with tasks he sets before me. I would not be the person that I am today if he hadn't pushed and pulled me and essentially molded me into this not so perfect but oh so loved child of God. I am so grateful for the places he has led me.. to Cannon Beach where I learned to be on my own but to still hold my faith that was instilled in me by my parents. And then he led to me Marmon Valley Farm where I saw hurting children become whole and healed in Christ right before my eyes. He showed me the miracle of his love. And I am so blessed that I have been given the chance to go back to Marmon Valley Farm this summer, and to able lead and just mentor these youg believers. I am so excited to see what God has in store... I'm sure there will be more challenges ahead.. but he won't let me go..

So Amazed!

I have posted about this before.... but God always amazes me with how he provides for me through everything. I have been trying to find a job here in town for awhile, in fact since I came home in October. I have applied for several and only had one interview. But I had been a housekeeper for a family in town before I had left for Ohio and they gave me my housekeeping job back. A couple months ago my former choir teacher from high school offered me a housekeeping job and about a month ago my Step Aunts mother gave me housekeeping job too! And yesterday I got a job working as a substitute recess teacher for Three Rivers Christian School. So although I still don't make much money I'm not struggling. I am so blessed and amazed by what God has given me. I mean I have these od jobs here and when June comes I'm off to Ohio again and perhaps going to spend the rest of at least the year there and that to me is exciting stuff!!
