God of the Impossible

In my job search, I had been looking for jobs in book publishing and various office jobs for a long time. But presently I have a couple of phone interviews this week for positions with AmeriCorps to help kids with their reading that I am excited about and hope work out. I believe that God humbled me and brought me to this place for a reason and has a plan that I never could dream up on my own for His glory. (In looking back on my life, I can see how He works in wonderful and mysterious ways!) I want to keep seeking Him each step of the way and not fall into the trap again of assuming I know His plan.

My view in the present is so limited. I was thinking today that sometimes things don't line up the way that I think they should or make perfect sense - I can't see how things will come together or work out - like the Israelites at the Red Sea - not understanding how God in His infinite power could make a way through what seemed impossible. Rather than over-analyzing and complicating things and worrying and asking what if questions - I need to simply trust God that He will provide and seek Him one day and step at a time. So, I'll just keep pressing on the best I can and wait to see what God has in store :)


In closing, I would like to pass on some verses that a friend recently shared with me that really encouraged  and blessed me to start my week:
"'For I know the thoughts that I think towards you,' saith the Lord, 'thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me. and I will hearken unto you. And you shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.'" (Jeremiah 29:11-13 KJV )
