Blessed.

Today was another great day in NMB, SC. I woke up early and made the commute down to Tanger Outlet Mall in Myrtle Beach. I was giving my friend from project Anna Jean a ride there so she could fill out some paperwork at The Fudgery. I also had applied there last Friday and I had only heard that I would find out more details on my employment status. We arrive at the mall around 9:45 and waited outside until Chris, the manager, and the other employes unlocked the doors at 10. He arrived at 10 unlocked the door and Chris said I had the job. I filled out the employment paperwork and start tomorrow at 10 a.m.!

Okay now lets look back a few days. After I had met with Chris the first time on Friday, he said I had a really good chance at getting the job and he would give me a call. I was excited and went back to my apartment with the other people on Summer Project. Saturday went by. No Call. To tell you the truth I had my phone by me at all times and was constantly anticipating it to ring. Sunday came and I was very anxious with again no call. Worry and Anxiety is addressed in the bible numerous times and I even knew of some verses I used to lead a bible study on last semester.

For example Philippians 4:19 says, "And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."

There is also a whole passage dedicated to Worry in Luke 12:22-34. 22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn: yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? ...27-34.

Luke's passage really spoke to me and definitely needed to be applied to the situation. I realized late Saturday night that I needed to surrender the outcome to God for it was out of my control. I went to Him in prayer and asked Him to provide by His will and God surely provided! He answered my prayer and I look forward to having the opportunities to share my faith and the good news of Christ in the workplace. Praise God for that!
