Well, I applied for a job yesterday as a nurse's aid at Garden Estates, which used to be Grand Court - a retirement community that I worked at about 3 years ago. They remembered me and were very excited and it looked very promising that I would be offered a job, but when I told my dad he was a bit disappointed because he doesn't want me to work right now. He really wants me to devote my time and energy to caring for my grandparents which is a load off of my mother as well. I wouldn't really feel very good about getting a job for 3 months knowing I would be leaving in May for Lebanon and that for 2 weeks in between I would be caring for my grandmother after her knee surgery. So I think I will turn the job down. Perhaps another time.
God has given me great peace about life right now through something my sweet sister said when I spent the night in Dallas a few days ago. What she said was so simple - yet suddenly my mind full of twisted thoughts was flooded with light and understanding of the situation. I was really encouraged to hear such godly wisdom come from her - revealed a lot of understanding on the eternal perspective of this Life as we live it before God.
The peace of Christ is to reign in our hearts...where there is no peace, we do not go...we don't think about it - we don't allow our minds to play with the future and this possibility or that - but to live securely in the Now and the peace alotted in this day, this moment and be wholly confident in Him not the circumstance. Then when Tomorrow comes, we recognize that mercy that is new every morning. Indeed, Great is Thy faithfulness.
