Waiting on the Lord (God is good)

When I decided back in March to move back home to NC, I went with a lot of faith and confidence that I would have a job for the fall. When several things fell through my heart was discouraged, I was falling deeper and deeper into discouragement, and my faith was being tested in ways that I have never experienced. I had a job for the summer, grant it part time...but I couldn't complain it was helping me pay my bills for the most part. I decided in July, to possibly take a break from teaching- but that made me really sad and dissapointed that I wouldn't be able to "hang out" with the kids. In late June, I really stared the job searching. I posted my resume online on multiple job search boards. I applied for several things and waited....If you know me I am not a very good "waiter"  I want things NOW...not later. I had one job interview for a clerical position, but I didn't have complete peace about it at all, plus it was only part time. I was still doing my best being persistent looking online, posting, applying, and searching. I then saw a job at a learning center, and sent my resume in on a Wednesday evening. The next day I received a call regarding my resume and they said they may want to set up an interview...Well I had the interview and found out that all my coursework and paperwork wouldn't transfer over to NC. I was discouraged once again...I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do. I then received a phone call I was put on the "short list" as a floating teacher. I called one day to see the status of my application and was told I would be called Monday. Well, all day Monday I never received a phone call and I spent most of the night in tears. I felt like a failure...I left a place I loved knowing God wanted me here and had the feeling I was going to be unemployed in a few days. My dad told me to keep my chin up and that God may be testing my faith and that I needed to trust Him. After months of trying to do this I felt strained and discouraged. I have to admit, I wasn't trusting in Him the way I needed to everyday. Then the time came and I received a phone call, the one that I have been wanting to receive. The Lord provided a job, a full time one just like I was praying for. I will still be around kids, and doing something I enjoy. God is good! God is so good! 

God is good all the time...all the time God is good!
