how I felt it was a done deal

What a wonderful life!

I’m always invited to the coolest things. Thankfully I’ve been in this class here in the Atrium at church where they are teaching people how to direct children to Jesus. It really seems so preposterous, since young children already know Jesus, and are really struggling to get into our world separated from Jesus by birth. I realize I kept Emily in Jesus by always asking her instead of telling her. . . And was so fascinated to learn what they did.

I’m never sure what I’m doing or what is next for me in this incredible blessing. I’m always perplexed by this. Like yesterday I was literally embarrassed when Dick asked about my to-do list wanting to know my priorities. He was very clear and focused on how “getting a job” and making some income was a critical top priority for our lives.

The one priority I’ve all but ignored all week. Then halfway through the day I got a call about coming in for an interview with St Pete College. It was kinda a surprise for me! I told Dick how I’d asked Richard for a recommendation at USF, and then the same day I got a note from HR that I was still listed for the job there.

I was just real about what happened and how I felt it was a done deal at USF. Dick said “hopes” don’t work with the business world, but numbers. I’ve always been provided for, and I guess I’ve seen this all my life, or more so, recognize it’s really “my life” to be provided for; and I shouldn’t question or anything, since it’s really just been so consistent.

I remember Kim’s story about the roof contractor who showed up the weekend before we closed, where the roof was required for closing, and I hadn’t even looked at it. Course, now I’m fumbling through all this technology wondering how I can get what I need done? It’s just not working for me. Like now I’m punching the tiny keys on my iPhone to get these words out, feeling this blog is my number one priority as well.

Once again it just seems so bizarre and astonishing to consider that my world and life is spinning around such trivia.

Yes we know Journalling for Jesus is really not trivia and really not something I even understand most of the time but I know it’s something I have to do and it never stops but grows more all the time!

Welcome Retreat, wow ten pm!
