2 Samuel 22: 31, 33

“As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord in tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. God is my strength and power: and he maketh his way perfect.”

His way is perfect…Trust the Lord…God gives strength and power…His way is perfect.

The past month has been a time for me to really learn that His way is perfect and that He is in control of my future and my life. Even in life’s uncertainties He maketh His way perfect.

I need to trust God, since I do  not know the future. In February, it was announced that the school was going to go through a few changes—meaning cutting teachers. This was a point of uncertainty in my life. I prayed the the Lord would give me peace, would help me trust Him, and would show me what to do. Several months passed and  to be honest--- I was beginning to fret. I was becoming fearful that I would not have a job, wondering if I needed to go ahead and apply for a new job, wondering if I should move back home, wondering if I should post my name on AACS website, and wondering “is the Lord’s will for me to still be here?” Every day I would fret more it seemed the closer I would come to finding a new job. But God was my buckler sun and building and I needed to trust Him. I came to the point that I prayed, “Lord I am trusting YOU, please show me what you want me to do, whatever you have for me I know this is your perfect plan and know that your way is far better than mine.” Time came and my principal came to me. Now, my stomach began to do flip flops because I thought it could mean one of two things~ yes or no on my job. The Lord is good he knew what He wanted me to do and that was to remain here to continue teaching. His way is perfect and all I needed to do was trust in Him.

A Year Later (written but not published on May 14)

It is hard to believe that a year ago today, May 14th, I was in my first car accident. Traveling to a friends home, my tire blew, I lost control of my car and while going 60+ mph I hit a concrete barrier. I look back and see how the Lord worked in my life.

He provided the money for therapy, He gave me rides to therapy when I didn’t have a car. He provided a car (my old one). God has been good. Although, I still suffer from a bit of back pain at times the Lord helps me through the days I hurt.

I have to be honest and say….I do miss my little Chevy Cavalier, but there was a reason the LORD took it away from me the way He did.
