.007

hey,
i hope that you all had a good holiday break. During this break, i looked back upon this past year and all that happened, seeing how much God had done in my life. He took me out of so much things that did not bring him glory. he turned my heart towards him. he provided for me, to move to california, to go to school, to live in an apartment, to have food to eat, all while not having a job. i see his good hand in that, allowing me to focus on my studies for the first semester of bible college. it is so amazing how God's plan is perfect.

after getting engaged, i knew that i had to start working, and also with my savings running out, i didn't have much time to find a job.

the day before i go back to hawaii for the christmas break i stopped in the family christian bookstore, (which i applied to for a job at the end of august with no luck) to do some last minute christmas shopping. while i was in the store, the manager recognizes me from the one interview i had with him. He calls me over and asks to talk to me in the back room. Long story short, he asks if i am still interested in working there. I just respond, "yes, I'm still interested." I didn't really have hope in getting a job there because that was the same type of thing he told me in the interview i had back in august. so, small talk goes by and he says he will contact me once january rolls around.

i sit in my apartment today, praising god. i am employed. i start work tomorrow.

it's so amazing how god works. how perfect his plan is. how perfect his timing is.
I walked into the store to go shopping, and the manager approaches me with a job offer!?!?!
how often does that happen?

praise God for he is good. praise God for he is worthy of praise. praise God for his continued provision over you and me.
look at what God has done for you, look how he has provided for you.

he is worthy of praise.
