The Miracle continues….

August 4, 2007

Oh man am I on cloud 9…..& it’s all because of the good Lord. God you are awesome and I know you are orchestrating everything. Your timing is so so perfect. Today just put things over the top.

It all began a couple of weeks ago. I had put a buz in my boss’s ear about me possibly moving to San Antonio, was not for sure at the time, but just wanted to be up-front with her from the beginning. I am surprised she took it very well. Now I have to give a shout out to my boss, she is an amazing person, I love her. Her name is Martha and she has always had my back since my college years. We go back, I actually did my internship under her supervision. Anybody who knows me, knows I absolutely love my job. I work from home, my job provided me with a laptop. I am an Outreach Counselor and my primary responsibility is to educate Medicaid recipients and to enroll them under managed care. I always say, “I have my cake and I eat it too!” I have the best of both worlds. I am productive in my career and productive as a mother/wife, and that to me screams success. Yes I am patting myself on the back, heck I worked hard to get here, so why not! Well anyhow, lots of changes lately….I have to admitt I was saddened to be leaving my job…..even more so….what would I do for medical coverage for my family. As some of you may know, my husband is launching his business in San Antonio, and yeah there is no money for insurance right now….so what to do??? I started talking to God about it and questioning things, but I knew He would come through, He always has.

Well, my boss, assured me, “You let me know when you do move to San Antonio and I will contact the Regional Manager in that area and see if there is a position available for you.” I thought that was so kind and considerate of her. So things were moving right along….got approved for the house and now the date is set……so I let her know that the 15th of August would be my last day. She got on the phone, called the San Antonio supervisor and was also in communication with her supervisor up in Austin. Martha got back to me and asked if I would be available for a phone interview with the SA supervisor on Friday (today) @ 8:30 a.m. Of course I said yes! The interview went well. I received an email a couple of hours later informing me that the job was mine! What made me feel extra special was that San Antonio did not have a position available, however because of my boss’s recommendation and high compliments, they made an exception. SA sup also made it a point to say, “We all agree that you are a good worker and we don’t want to lose you.” Not only that, it is more pay and all of my family will have excellent health and dental coverage. It is the same job, it will be home-based. I just want to cry. Thank you Lord, for always being there for me.  

Needless to say, Isaac and I went out on a date to celebrate. It was nice to spend quality time with my husband. I am so proud of him, he has truly come a long way. I can see his excitement and his readiness for something huge. He’s ready, we’re ready for God’s abundance. God you know the plans…..make them happen, to God be the glory.

“When life kicks you, let it kick you forward!”

July 30, 2007

Another week, another, day, another hour, another minute. What will you chose to do with your time? My sister-in-law, Denise was over the other day and quoted me the title of this post. I liked it, she said she heard it on T.V. I don’t think I heard anything else after that, (sorry Denise), but those words spoke to me.

 It’s so true. No matter how many times I have been shoved or pulled, I will move forward and not on my strength alone, but with my Heavenly Father’s help. My family and I are seeing better days. It’s amazing how God slowly reveals the whole picture to you day by day.

We went to San Antonio two weeks ago with every intention to view a listing of 10 houses I had researched. The realtor emailed me the night before and stated another house had just come on the market that day. She emailed me some pictures of it, it was beautiful, however I wanted to see it for sure before making a descision. We made arrangements to meet her at that one house before we moved on to see the rest. So we packed in the car, myself, Isaac, Denise and her husband. At first, we were like, “where in the world are we!” But then the long road led to several subdivisions where the neighborhoods looked friendly, inviting and peaceful. We then turned down the street where the house was located. Symphony music came on as we parked in front of the home. B-E-A-Utiful!!! We walked in and the outside was just as nice as the inside. A two-story, 2600 square foot home, with two living areas and a large kitchen. That is all I need!!! Needless to say, I fell in love.  Here is the picture of our new home, we were approved last week. The move date is August 10th.  Thank you God, I know the best is yet to come.

Gratitude

July 13, 2007

“Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a lamp unto my path.” 

Psalms 119:105

This  is the verse that sustains me.  Yesterday was just one of those days where I felt everything and everyone was against me.  To be a Christian is to endure hardships and to trust that God holds the answers. In the end these struggles will bring you closer to the Father, resulting in Him receiving all the glory and praise. Sometimes people get caught up in the glamour of it all, yet Christ is far from that. Some people get lost in image and “high stature”, yet forget every speed bump that allowed them to slow down and enjoy the fruit. Yes, people can be very disappointing, but I just have to be reminded that I live and serve an amazing God who will accept me for who I am. No family, no friend, no church, no professional could ever do what Christ did for me and for the rest of the world. It is to Him, I owe my gratitude, my heart….my everything.

God I see you, I feel you….you have not changed since the days of my youth. Revive the spiritual ferverence in my life as if were the day you came into my heart. I love you Lord.

Re-opened wounds

July 8, 2007

Pain, heartache, and deception. Sadly, these are all too familiar to my heart. Once again they come un invited as they pull the rug from beneath me. I feel deception as it surrounds me in a midst and stops behind my ear and whispers, “I’m backkk!” So many thoughts and feelings that I have supressed come floating to the top as if to mock me. Comfort, what is comfort? Some people whine and cry to get comfort, others actually fight for it. Those who fight for it, their actions speak louder than words, which eventually brings great respect and dignity. Those who are all talk, their lack of actions will bring resentment and downfall. You see deception, the game has just begun. I know you, you bring the same lowsy tactics to the court, what you don’t know is that the ball is on my turf. And that ball is my Heavenly Father. Sure, I’m angry, sure I’m upset, but it’s a holy anger that will drive me to pursue things that I thought were impossible at one point. Just like before, if it were not for that anger I’d still be on the sidelines waiting for someone to give me a chance. No, not this girl!
