Amazing..

I am reminded of how much the Lord Loves me.  (he does love you too!)  How many times do we really stop and think about the way he is orchestrating our lives to bring us closer to him and to share him with others.  In church today the pastor said, "God gazes upon you!"  Can you just let that sink in for a minute.  Little old me among the many and he chooses to gaze on me! Oh what a thanklful heart I have.  My story, my journey in life, my life if you may has the Lord written all over it.  I am his child.

I did not always love my job at Baylor while in Waco.  There were many reasons and circumstances that played into this, but one thing for sure is that the Lord used that time.  I have been a whiner and complainer (when I do not wait patiently for the Lord) which ends up biting myself in the butt later!

Thank God that he is a God who loves me even when I am ungrateful and whinny.  The long over due answer (well at least to this impatient child of God) to the question, "Why am I working 8-5 in an office at a computer and NOT doing something that uses the desires of my heart?" was finally answered!

I got a job! Thank you God.  Not only did I get a full time job with vacation time and insurance right around the corner from where I live, But I got a job that after 2 years of working in higher education you get 50% off your spouse or dependents tuition.  And after 4years you get 100% tuition paid.  So we thinking we will be in Wilmore for 4years will be able to use the 50% off after two years of me working at the Seminary.

Oh no, it gets better! My 22months at Baylor goes towards to time needs to get tuition help for Brian's school.  So what we are looking at is after 2months of me working at Asbury the 50% off his tuition kicks in the following semester.  And his last three semesters at Asbury will be free. CRAZY.  The Lord is blessing us in so many ways.  He is providing and meeting our needs as well as honoring our desire to not go into more student loan debt.

My time at Baylor was not for nothing.  The Lord was making a way for us to afford seminary long before we knew.  I will still need to babysit/nanny part time in addition to my full time job but I am confident the Lord has a plan for us and I pray that I would only be grateful and thankful for all that I have.
