Well it's month 5 in this journey of trusting God. In my own human frailty I'm weak. There've been days on this journey where I've been down right frustrated, sad, mad, angry, and any other feeling/emotion you can throw in there. There are days where Satan has had a hay day with me. There are some things that have gone to the wayside that never should have such as reading my Bible every single day. I'll have to confess that on this journey some days I've been merely existing with several emergency room prayers to God. However, I've always told God that I knew he was our Jehovah Jireh and that I knew He would provide even when I didn't know how or see how it was humanly possible. I told God we would still tithe even when we couldn't see where the money would come from for simple daily provisions. Would you like to know the result of those prayers?
Let me begin by saying that God has provided me with a new job in the medical field. I'm only 3 weeks in and love it! Yes, there's more money but more importantly I have Sundays off so I can go to church and worship God on His day and not have to rush to go home to eat and head for work. I have a majority of my weekends off and my holidays as well. That means more time with my son and husband!
Sean has recently accepted a part time job. He hasn't started yet so I won't give you specifics, but he's employed. God paved the way for this job and we are grateful. In time, His time God will provide Sean with a full-time job, but for now it's God's provision and we are thankful
Remember that prayer about tithing that I prayed to God?!!! Well, let's just say if you did the math IT DOESN'T ADD UP. God has provided for us every step of the way. We've not missed a bill at all! We've had food on our table and we haven't gone without. Now did it get scary at times. YES, YES, YES!!!!
Our journey isn't over yet, and on this side of Heaven it will never be. We are soujourners on this mission called trusting God and just when you think He's forgotten you, He shows up. He's never too early, never too late, but always right on time!
In His unfailing love,
Alicia Roark
