God cares about the little things.
This is something I've been slowly learning over this past month. We can hear about God's appreciation and acknowledgement for the small details in life, or read about it, but many times we don't quite comprehend it until experience gives us the knowledge.Over this last month or so my life has undergone several changes. I have remained in Canada instead of striking out for Australia at the beginning of the year, attained a full-time job, and commenced application to a different YWAM location. Through it all, God has begun to show me that He cares about the little things.
- He watched over my heart as I wrestled with the decision to return to Australia as staff at the beginning of the year. He gave me the strength to ask the hard questions such as, "what will it be like when I return?", "what will happen if I don't go?", "what has God told me?", "do I have the peace to make the right decision?", and so many others. When the time came to make the final decision, I had peace because I knew God had walked me through the entire process.- He blessed me with a job. After job hunting for weeks, with no prospects I was at a loss. I wasn't sure what I was doing, why I was in Canada, or if I was even meant to be looking for a job in the first place. One morning I cracked under the self-imposed weight of trying to sort out all the ifs, buts, whens, hows, and whys of my life. I gave God control and in the span of an hour I was on the phone being summoned for a job interview. This led to a full-time job with great co-workers.
- After three weeks of working as a cashier I was offered training in an administrative department of the store. The schedule changes would give me more time at the end of the day to be around the house or meet with people outside of work. Since my parents where just leaving town to run a one month seminar this was an unspoken answer to prayer, as my brother and I both worked full-time jobs and I was largely in charge of the kitchen. I later learned that this job role is quite sought after, and though many people had been asking about it they gave it to me though I had only recently been hired.
God walking me through a difficult situation, blessed me with a job on a day when I was ready to give up ever having one, and blessed me with a job role that allows me to participate more in activities outside of work. He heard a desperate cry and answered a prayer I hadn't even uttered. My God cares for the little things!
God has recently opened the doors for me to return to Australia. I will now be joining the Perth base as staff later this year! I am so excited for this opportunity and so thankful for those who have already partnered with me in prayer and financial support. I hope to be arriving in Perth between July-October this year! Please pray with me for the right timing and for open doors!
