What I need,want, and crave

We all know how bad the economy is and how everyone is really scared of what is going to happen next, but I know the God knows everything. I am trying to find peace in that. I can not find a job. I have looked everywhere and even went to Texas without any luck. I thought that I could go to India and have a job lined up for April 2010. Nope, God has another plan. ALL HE WANTS IS ME!
Of coarse want a job, a husband, kids, to be a size 5, a new big purple bag... the list can go on and on. But my Jesus just wants me. On my bad days my crabby days and those days that I just do not feel like being loving towards others. I just need to give it all to him and pray that he strengthens me. I did not realize how hard it is, I thought that I was a good Christian, now I realize that no matter how hard I try.....it's not plan my life...it's God's.

I messed with Texas

Texas was an EXPERIENCE.

I prayed for patience and for a challenge and the Lord always provides. I feel like I can handle anything after that. It was really good to be with my sister and met all her friends. They are all awesome and I am blessed to know that there are good strong Christians that are helping her grow and love Jesus more and more daily. On the way down ( I drove all by myself: 16 hours) I listened to a podcast from the Village and they said that there was a church plant near where I was staying. It was called City View and the message and people were amazing. There was a couple that I sat near and they invited me over. I spent the next couple of Sundays with them and was amazed by their hospitality. This is what might be called "Southern Hospitality", but as followers of Jesus this is what the early church was all about- meeting other believers and helping them grow. It is so sad because I never felt so welcomed in my whole life. As Christians I feel like we really should really take note of what Ginger and Jake did- they were there when I really need them and I appreciate all that they did for me! My goal is to Be the Person that I claim to be. Ginger and Jake were followers of Jesus and I pray that I will be able to be the person they were to me to someone else.

Thank you Ginger and Jake for everything!
