Another chapter in my life is drawing to a close and I am waiting to turn this final page... My years of AmeriCorps servitude are numbered (10 to be exact) and just like my stipend it's all bitter sweet. Two years of living in poverty for my country and now I sit at God's feet trembling with excitement. I've never seen a heavenly window this big before and I've never made this much room for God's blessings before. I've got my Bible posted next to my bed, my devotion app downloaded on my phone, my church is praying for me too. Lord, my ark is parallel parked in the front God you say the word! Open the flood gates of heaven, LET IT RAIN!
........
Instead my phone rings and it's a friend in need of support. Instead it's my gas light flashing, it's my email filling up with last minute paper work not requests for interviews and I'm left tapping on this heavenly window that appears to be locked? Can you crack the window God? Just slide me a lil' something under the crack of the door... Helloooo? Lord please refresh your screen because another chapter in my life is drawing to a close and I'm still stuck on this same page writing a conclusion.... *Sigh* New paragraph.
So my friend is going through her own personal book of Job right now (not job.... JOB) and her faith is isn't shining as much as its glowing. We sit together on her journey talking about what it means to trust God, talking about what the ex did. No let's talk about what Jesus did. But look at what I had before. But look at what you're promised now. I'm telling her to eat pray and love but and she's starving crying and pissed. It's a process, I know that and I'll be there... Even though a large part of me wants to be on my Ark....
To be continued..
