Still Looking Up

I feel so blessed to still love my job. It's such a great thing! Every day brings new challenges. The past couple months have been so slow in placements. There just haven't been any jobs available that our clients can do. Til just last Thursday... we were nearly flooded with openings! It was such a rush trying to call clients and get the hooked up with these openings. We were run so ragged and so busy, but it was a lot of fun. I was so exhasted Friday night. But a good exhasted.

I wish I had more time to read. I have a lot of great books sitting on my shelves collecting dust. I am determined to get through them though. I just started reading "Chasing the Dragon." No, it's not a kung fu story. It's a missionary biography of a British woman, Jackie Pullinger, going alone to Hong Kong in the 70's and making disciples. So far it's amazing and I'm only through the second chapter.

A friend of mine has invited me to the Bible Study he attends, so I am going to check that out tomorrow night. I am excited to meet some fellow believers my age.

It's good to hang with my folks' group, although I do feel more like an outsider and observer. Still I'm very excited for them and can see that the Lord is doing some amazing things among them. You can always tell when the Lord is really moving when there seems to be more attacks from the enemy. The enemy is threatened and wants to wreck the fellowship, but Praise God! God is so good and is equipping and growing and moving.

I was so encouraged to read a testimony of a man who had been imprisoned in Romania for his faith. My spirit was so encouraged and rejoiced at how God turned what the devil meant for evil into awesome good! The devil is such a laughable speck. Oh how my Jesus reigns. It's so so GOOD to see Jesus kicking Satans butt. What a joy to see my Lord so easily flick him away. I can't help but laugh out loud.

I feel like the weekend went too fast, and I'm not quite recovered from last weeks busy-ness. Still, I must go back to work in the morning. So it's off to bed...
