Sometimes Blessings don’t look like blessings to us! Back in December I had been praying about our finances, our future and the kids. We have been pretty tight on money for a while. I had tossed the idea around about getting a job, but a flood of emotions and doubts kept creeping into my mind. So after praying one night about our financial situation—I got a call from my previous employer… asking if I knew anyone looking for a job—Now this could NOT be God’s way of answering prayer… I mean this was a “real” job back in the corporate world… So, I told them no and that I would call if I heard of anyone. Long story short, I took a long shot and called back and asked if they would work with someone looking part time. To my amazement they said yes… I interviewed, set up my guidelines and they offered me the job. The nagging doubt crept in again, and I said no. God wouldn’t want me to put Isaiah in day care would he? He wouldn’t want me not in full time ministry, would he? I dismissed the offer as me manipulating the situation. Several weeks past and the financial crunch was taking a toll. Again, I got on my knee’s one night and prayed: “God if you can hear me why aren’t you fixing our financial situation??” The VERY next day I got another call from my old employer. They asked why I didn’t take the job. They reoffered the position again (a little more salary this time) and it hit me—ARE YOU GOING TO IGNORE THE BLESSING THAT GOD IS TRYING TO GIVE YOU??? It didn’t look like the blessing I expected, it wasn’t packaged the way I thought God’s blessings would be packaged, but sometimes things that don’t look right in the natural are God’s way of asking “Do you trust me?” So needless to say I started work this week. I will only be working part time, but it will be an adjustment for the family. Pray that we stay in the GOD ZONE at all times. Also, think about a prayer that you have been waiting for God to answer… Look around he may be trying to answer it
