God Is Good :)

Well, I got the job and I've already worked a couple of days.  It turns out she had hired somebody but this person didn't show up.  I am so excited to be "working" again.  It is the perfect fit for me right now and there is opportunity to advance if I am able and want to.  I also found out my boss is very interested in alternative health.  I got some strange looks bringing home-made sauerkraut for lunch and Kombucha tea (fermented tea).  Lacto-fermented foods are one of the things I attribute to getting rid of all my GI problems from reflux to severe constipation.  They asked me a few questions on Thursday.  I'm a little afraid of sharing too much, but they asked so I shared both about my prayer that started all this and exactly what I'm doing.

I'm also growing spiritually so much.  It's funny how I've called myself a Christian for as far back as I can remember, but I feel like I know nothing when I'm around the people in my new church and talk to some of my online friends.  The healing miracles Bible study/small group I attend has spent the last 2 weeks learning about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and figuring out which ones we have.  I now have ideas where I'm strong, but I don't really know how to apply this to a "ministry"...but I will have an opportunity to meet with the person who gave the class and go from there.  The life and opportunities here are just so amazing.

I hate South Carolina, yet I'm beginning to accept that maybe, just maybe, I'm right where God wants me at this time.  One of the hardest lessons I'm learning is to "let go and let God".  I've always been a doer, a problem solver, action action action.  It's hard to pray, to make a need known to the Lord and then wait for Him to handle it.  I'm learning to not be so bull-headed but I sure have long way to go with that.

I was getting very discouraged with the weight loss and thinking about "fasting" and other drastic measures, but God spoke to me and told me to just keep on.  He's giving me a time out to concentrate on Him and after rapid, dramatic weight loss, give my body time to reach an equilibrium.  I'm actually beginning to believe I can be happy.
