I know I need to deepen my faith that God sees me clearly, knows me intimately and loves me deeply. He is good...all the time.<br /><br />As you said, it's good that you had your meds adjusted so you can cope better with a very distressing and unfair situation. In a sense, I'm glad that this contract is very obviously a dead end. Can you imagine if you'd accepted a permanent position? Yeah, you say they afford their permanent employees better treatment but if the same bosses have arbitrary standards, it doesn't speak well to their internal compasses. Truly, thank God you're soon outta there!<br /><br />What's next?? None of us know. That uncertainty bugs and stresses me too! I got head to toe chills today, what I call "the Holy Spirit bumps." I heard about the 11 year old girl with Asperger Syndrome who was lost this week for over four days in alligator infested areas of Florida. A gentleman from her church was awakened by the Lord with clear direction to go find her. He prayed and listened and called...and found her! <br /><br />Today, her mother stated that her daughter was reciting scripture "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths." Proverbs 3: 5-6<br /><br />We can...should...must...live by the same word. The scripture doesn't state that our own "understanding" is the key to trust. We get the same message in which indicates that our efforts to comprehend things contributes to diminishing peace. I've heard that "the peace of God which SURPASSES all understanding" is "crazy peace." I want to keep all these things in my own heart so that I can look forward to the future without fear and worry. "Be anxious for nothing ...."<br /><br />Philippians 4:6-7 (New King James Version)<br />Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Michal Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680002305753968190noreply@blogger.com
