New Chapter
I know it has been awhile since I have posted, but there has been a lot going on here and have not much time to get my thoughts together to be understood. This week I have started a new chapter in my life. I am no longer doing child care in my home. I am working at a local college bookstore right now. I have mixed feelings about this and am not sure if it will work out or not. It all happened faster than what I expected, but felt like God was opening the door, therefore I walked through it for now. This job is temporary with a good chance it may lead into something more permanent. I am still looking for another job and would like to work in the Social Work field. I am also struggling with not staying home with my girls, I didn't think that would bother me as much as it is. I know to meet our need financially I have to have something that pays more. Right now I feel like I am on a roller coaster and I can't see the track in front of me to know which way we are going next. I know God is in control, but for someone who likes details it is REALLY hard to trust Him, not impossible just HARD! I know God is working in my life and will get me through this period in our lives, but I sure don't know what he is doing and don't see His plan at all. I feel like I am getting a deaf ear when I pray. I have been a Christian long enough to know not to trust my feelings, but I'm just expressing them here. I am learning to trust the Lord through this and am trying to enjoy my life as I am on this ride. I am praying for God's will and for Him to be glorified.
Now with working outside the home I'm not sure how often I will be posting. We have family coming into town next week so I don't think I will have time to blog. Hopefully I will catch up in a couple of weeks.
Until Later,
~Betty~

Sit Back, Buckle your safety belt and enjoy the ride. You will be stronger when all is said and done. Just hang on and trust.

Oh - I've missed you. Now I've got to miss you even more - WHAT??
But it's okay, I understand. Boy, do I understand!
Just pop in every once in a while and let me know how you are - okay? Because if not, I'll be filling your email box letting you know I'm wondering!
Betty,
You are not alone in your feelings. We have all been there. I feel like I am forever in that place of having a hard time trusting God. I think that is what builds faith. You should really look into the Bible Study of Faith by Kenneth Hagin. It helped me tremendously. :)
Glad to see a post, as I was just getting ready to email you and see how you were.
Oh Betty, I know what you mean when you say “I feel like I am getting a deaf ear when I pray.”
As you know, I have been on a journey for many months now. Some days I think I am learning and the next day I seem to fall back. One thing I know for sure, God is big enough and strong enough to handle our doubt and frustration.
Praying for you sweet friend and you deal with adjusting to your new routines.

Betty,
I love roller coasters at amusement parks, but not in "real" life. Just keep asking Him...He'll give you peace, and hopefully an answer.
Blessings, sweet friend.
I understand what you are saying. Everything that you are feeling, I am too. I am working so much and miss the kids terribly.
God has me waiting on Him, and I have got to turn EVERYTHING over to Him.
I will pray for you. Try to enjoy your time away from home.

Betty, good luck with all your changes. There must be a reason God is trying you at this time, so look for the good in it all. Have a happy summer!
