the Hunt...


who would have ever thought that I would have such a hard time finding a job with my resume,
 but alas longevity does not speak to employers in this economy. 
I officially gave up earlier this week and lost all perseverance in the matter. Until a friend posted this verse;



WOW could this speak words of truth any louder?
God has amazing things to say to us everyday but sometimes they are said through someone else's findings. 
I am still not entirely motivated but still pushing through and attempting to apply to at least one job a day.

Wish there was a simple answer to it all.
And there is, Give it to God and leave it in His hands, 
But that doesn't mean that you do not have to do any work twords a goal,
 but with every no there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel that keeps leading me in the direction of "Follow Me, I will guide you.
Lean on Me, I will give you Strength.
Trust Me, I know what I am doing!"
-God

As a little girl growing up I watched Anne of Green Gables and the moral subtleties are not as subtle to us as adults
One thing Anne always says is 
"today is a new day with NO mistakes in it" 
and I have always liked that.
 It is the same concept that the Bible says about the Lord
 "His mercies are new every morning, great is His faithfulness".
Another one that ring true is;

 "Yesterday is gone".
 For all it's successes for all of it's failures, it's gone.


Ok so back to the job hunt I just wanted to update my blog while taking a break from the monotony of the filling out job applications.

We Pray For Blessings- my Hearts Cry


I love when I hear a song on the radio and its exactly
what God wants you to hear at that point or moment in your day or life.
This one brings me to tears everytime.

"We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops?
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?
What if my greatest disappointments,
Or the aching of this life,
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy?
And what if trials of this life--
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights--
Are Your mercies in disguise?"
-- Laura Story, "Blessings"
 Its amazing how good curling up at the feet of our Abba Father and weeping can feel and is so spiritually cleansing it can be. What songs or quotes bring you to the throne?
