Ready for Jesus

In an attempt to remind my kids why we celebrate Easter, I thought making salt dough ornaments would be a great and easy conversation starter. UBER FAIL ..!!  The kids got me side tracked into talking about candy and what they believe the Easter bunny really looks like. (It probably didn't help that we just finish watching Rise of the Guardians).  All is not lost, I know there will be many more times to tell them about Jesus and many more lessons to learn, but I must admit we had a BLAST painting the ornaments! I believe these moments are just as precious to Jesus as they are to me. Thank you Lord for the gift of FUN and LAUGHTER

His timing

     Well the end of my journey called Grad School is coming to an end, there is joy and fear. I am thrilled to never have to write a 20 page paper again, and yet I am extremely nervous. While I don't mind change, I like to have all my ducks in a row...Well okay I am a bit of a control freak!

   There is a part of me that's freaking out because I don't have a job already or lined up. I have had two interviews and both would have great jobs, and while I was a number two candidate in both, I still don't have a job!! 

   

   As I sat down hearted and felt sorry for myself, I remembered a sermon from church. Well I remembered a verse. James 1:4 "Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything" verse 5 goes on to say, "If any of you lacks wisdoms, he should ask God, who gives generously to all with finding fault, and it will be given to him." 

   

   While I feel as though I have gained knowledge and grown in the profession of Social Work, God must not be completely done with me. Lord give me your wisdom and help me to seek the path you have set for me. Give me your guidance as walk into this new stage of life.
