As I started updating my blog with pictures this song from church e singing in my head "I will wait upon the Lord, I will wait upon the Lord, my God, you reign forever, My God, you strong Deliverer! You are the everlasting God, you do not faint you don't grow weary..." And this paired with Psalm 25 that Brian shared with us on Sunday... it's so encouraging! It's so refreshing and outrageously simple that all we have to do is wait upon the Lord. Hear his voice and command and follow him. And the battle is not about us, it's about God and his kingdom. I forget such essential truths sometimes, when I let myself be overwhelmed by the future or even by the present, when I'm not sure if this is what Im supposed to be doing or if something else is expected from me. Whatever happened to my rich 1-on-1 with the CEO. Regain direction, touch base, share the progress or the failure so far, ask for guidance. God is the best CEO ever! Just keep your heart straight and your work ethic in-tune with His commands. We all make mistakes but He will never fire you if you come clean and take responsibility for your actions.
For the longest time I did let my job define who I am even though I didn't want to admit it. And it was not what I was doing, but the fact that I made an income. A reasonable steady income. I can't say that things didn't get better. I have lived the best few months ever. Making myself useful and available in all possible ways, even business wise, for Almannhaus, supporting Conrad and implementing new procedures and forms, and advising and approving and doing what I like out of passion. It is wonderful, except there is this nagging thought in my emotional memory that work is not supposed to be fun and random, and that we do need a steady income in order to move into our own place.
Anyway, I have a lot deeper thoughts when I'm not close to a computer, and I wish I could write down all the revelations and encouragements I receive from God through people, and song and events.
We have guests this week, and everybody in the family has been sick, except me. That's pretty weird. I enjoyed having them here. they are easy going and fun to talk to and spend time with.
Other than that, I biked every day since I got my new TREK. I love biking!
