Weight Lifted
Today was the day that my two year journey at Hagemeyer ended. Resigning took some time but today it was finalized. It actually was not that bad. I expected a little more grief from my ex-employer. I am so glad that I didn't let my fear of moving on get in my way. I know my decision is somewhat a risk. But I only pray that I continue taking more risks like these.
Today, I met with my father for lunch. I met him in Easton. It was so great to spend time with him and talk. We then did a little shopping. On my way home I realized how much I feel blessed to have such an amazing set of parents and family. I feel so lucky. I know many are not as fortunate as I am. Sometimes, we tend to forget how our Lord has blessed us. Lord God, I thank you deeply for your blessings!
Lately, I have felt God using me more and more. It is truly an amazing feeling to see God working! This past Saturday God was in one of the most unlikely of places. I was standing in a bar drinking my sprite, watching all the drunkenness around me. And then out of no where, Jesus became apart of my dialogue. I was speaking with my one friend Ryan. Somehow, the fact that I was a born-again came up. Knowing he was Jewish as the majority of my fraternity, I never expected anything to come of it. But sure enough, I found that his newlywed wife was a devout Christian. And that he had started going to bible studies with her. I spoke to her for a while. I found out she is social worker and counselor for troubled people through a Christian network. She is able to use her faith and experience to help. She said the timing for this conversation couldn't have been better. She has troubled young twenty-something women mostly that are looking for a good church they could relate with. Her excitement was refreshing. I see that the Lord is using her in such an awesome way. I now pray for her, her husband, and the lives she touches through Christ.
God is amazing! If you let Him, He can lift the heaviest of weights!
Lord God, I sit here humbled. Lord my spirit is crushed and torn without you. I praise you Lord, I praise you. I am not worthy of your grace, and yet you still give it so freely. Lord God, as I venture to a new job, I have faith that you will provide. You have made me. I thirst to know what you have in store for me next. I will continue to face and move with and toward You. Please use me as I meet and build these new relationships, and make me a beacon for this new workplace. I pray this in the name of the one they call, Jesus Christ (the son of God) [Amen]
