Keeping the Faith...

At the beginning of the summer I bought a bracelet that had mustard seeds in it. Mustard seeds? You ask. But it came along with the bible verse that states:

“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain ‘move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20

I love this bracelet, it reminds me to always have faith no matter what. A lot of times I find myself getting easily discouraged, and this bracelet helps to lift me up.

All summer long I’ve been waiting, worrying, and praying about my job. Am I going to have a job? Where will it be? What grade will it be? I’ve been anxious, nervous, and scared. Well I found out today that I will have a job next year, but I will be moving schools. This was not exactly the scenario that I was praying for, but I know that everything happens for a reason and that God is putting me in this position because it is where he needs me. It’s his plan for me.

You have to take the good with the bad….

Bad: Instead of a 30 minute drive to work in the morning, I will now have a 50-60 minute drive to work in the morning.

Good: I will be at the same school as my best friend Joy, and I will be making that drive with her, therefore saving both her and me money on gas. (She is moving in two houses down from me.)

And no matter how upset I am that I didn’t get what I want….I just need to be thankful. Thankful that I have a job, because there are so many people who are not quite as lucky as I am.
