Waiting in the Wind



For the past three weeks I have been praying for some miracle to happen, and I could find another job. It is not like I do not like helping people, it the continous struggle to sale something to someone who does not need it. I have applied to jobs in Auburn, Tennessee, and places around Montgomery. How come I am not finding the job that I think I should have.? I have shown interest in youth ministry jobs, only to be turned down because I did not get my information in on time. I have realized that I can not go in this along. Some part of me says why did I have to leave a job that I love doing? I finally understand it now because I get to spend time with teens because I want to, and it is not a job that I do for convenience. I have also come to realize that prayer is more than coming to God because I want to change something...it is time that I have to spend with him and build a relationship with because I want to know him, more. When are things going to change? There is not a day that I do not come home and do my routine job search. Then again I am remind of a lesson that it has to be on his time, not mine.

Vaughn Park is loosing a great minister in Ross. Ross is been one of my dearest friends and ministers. Ross was there when I needed him most, while I worked at the church. He did not make fun of me so that he could feel better about himself. What he did was encourage me to keep going. I have been blessed by Ross because God used Him to get me through my summer internship. He offered to help me anyway he could. If I needed someone to talk to, he was there to listen. If I needed someone to go play golf with, he was there. Even when I wanted to go to an Auburn game, he was there. I appreciate the times that I got to go vent about things to Tia. I love how she would shoot straight with me, but also encourage me to keep up the good work. I am going to truly miss this family. I know God is going to bless the church in Opelika.
